Ahead of the President\u2019s State of the Nation Address scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, February 8, 2018, Citi News<\/strong> takes a look at the government\u2019s performance in the health sector.<\/p>\n

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) made two major promises in the sector\u2014 the restoration of allowances of trainee nurses and fixing what they described as ailing National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).<\/p>\n

The report also captured the state of a number of health facilities that have been completed but abandoned across the country.<\/p>\n
