Kwesi Pratt Will Need Nana Addo's Health Policy

Kwasi Pratt who is gradually reducing to a skeleton will badly need Nana Addo's National Health Insurance scheme Policy in 2013.

The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jr, who has challenged as useless, the pledge by Nana Akufo-Addo to establish an effective office for Health affairs to ensure a proper addressing of complaints from patients seems to be confused due to his own deteriorating health.

Kwesi Pratt who has been partisan because of greediness in his profession as a journalist (is personally as you can see from his picture above) is gradually reducing to a skeleton, he is getting worse in both his journalism and health conditions. Looking at Pratt's present state of condition he will be one of the first Ghanaian people to benefit from Nana Addo's proposed health policy in 2013.

Nana Addo boldly outlined his party's health policy in his speech delivered on the topic “Saving our Health Service, Keeping our People Healthy” at the Sunyani Nurses Training College, Akufo-Addo said “In NPP's efforts to promote the quality of health care, the NPP will create a special branch with the power to investigate and support complaints from patients in both public and private hospitals.”

This is what the greedy, corrupt and partisan Kwesi Pratt believes to be an unnecessary duplication of existing structures and would create an unnecessary burden on the exchequer. I dare Kwesi Pratt to show me where and since when a similar structure is effectiively existing in Ghana . This is a pure indication that the pocket full partisan and politically sick-journalist Pratt is at his highest hyüpocricy at the risk of the poor Ghanaian people who are left to their own future with the so called “ineffective” National Health Insurance Scheme.

Kwesi Pratt as usual, hawking from Radio station to Radio station was speaking on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem morning show on Thursday October 18, 2012, where he said, “the medical community already had a regulatory and investigative body, the Medical and Dental Council, and it was therefore unnecessary to have a Medical Ombudsman, but looking carefully at Kwesi Pratt's present Physical condition, he will be in dare need of Nana Addo's Health Policy of the National Health Insurance Scheme in 2013.
