Ablakwa exposes GH¢2.67bn ‘dubious’ digitisation initiatives in health sector

North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has raised concerns about the government’s expenditure in the health sector, particularly on what he perceives as questionable digitalisation projects.
In a social media post on April 3, Mr Ablakwa highlighted that the total expenditure on these initiatives reached GH¢2.67 billion.

He expressed worry about reports of deprivation in health facilities across the country and questioned the government’s priorities.

According to him, scarce resources should be allocated to address pressing issues in the sector rather than investing in projects of questionable value.

“With this shambolic state of health care in Ghana, one wonders why the current Akufo-Addo/Bawumia-led government will ignore the priorities begging for urgent solutions, and rather be fixated on dubious, duplicative and deadly so-called digitalisation initiatives at a heartless cost of GH¢2.67billion?”
