The former minister for Trade and founder of the Afrafranto movement, Honourable John Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten has promised to provide about 100,000 health screening boots across the country for screening lifestyle diseases.
During his meeting with the International Economic Affairs on Tuesday, 1st October, 2024, these health screening boots will be managed by young people as part of his vision to engage the youth into the country's decision making process and empowering them.
He said that the health screening boots will be managed on work and pay basis. He also noted that with the implementation of the boots, a person would not need to visit a specialist hospital just to check their health status. The boots would also serve as an employment for the youth as well.
How do we have a situation in a country where you want to just measure your blood pressure and you have to go to Korle-Bu teaching hospital?. He asks.
