The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has announced that nurses in Ghana will enjoy duty-free importation of vehicles with engine capacities of less than 1.8 litres if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is elected president in 2025.
Speaking to students at the Korle Bu Nursing and Midwifery Training Institute in Accra on Wednesday, October 23, Dr. Prempeh, also known as Napo, outlined the pledge as part of the NPP's plans to ease financial burdens on nurses.
“Dr. Bawumia, the incoming president of Ghana, will provide free duty on vehicles with engine capacities less than 1.8 capacity for nurses,” NAPO said.
Napo highlighted the NPP's deep appreciation for the crucial role nurses play in healthcare delivery nationwide.
He assured that a Bawumia-led NPP government would implement policies focused on enhancing the livelihoods of nurses.
“The NPP recognises and appreciates the key roles that our nurses play in the provision of healthcare to the people, so we shall also make sure that your lives will be better.
“As I said already, there will be free importation of vehicles with engines less than 1.8 capacity for our dear nurses among other important interventions to make you (nurses) live better and comfortably,” he stated.
