Mobile-clinic vans procured by NDC gov’t rotting away

Joy News investigations have revealed that eight Mobile-clinic vans imported by the John Mahama administration are currently rotting away Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

The specialised vans were designed for general medicine, ophthalmology, dentistry and audiology assessment and were meant to bridge the gap between urban and rural healthcare.

Joy News checks indicate that the mobile-clinic vans were registered in the year 2014 and the then National Democratic Congress (NDC) government was in the process of sourcing funds for the operations of the vans before it exited office in 2016.

Further checks revealed that the vans were to serve about 46 districts across the country.
