The leadership of the National Health Students Association of Ghana (NAHSAG) has made a statement relating to the SONA delivered by H.E. John Dramani Mahama yesterday. The association applauded H.E. John Dramani Mahama for his interest in continuing projects uncompleted by the previous government, particularly the Agenda 111 project. They stated that the completion of those projects will help employ the huge number of unemployed graduates in the system.

They commended the government for its swift response to combat the ongoing cholera and meningitis outbreaks, as well as its plans to fill the funding gap due to the withdrawal of USAID funding for major health-related programmes.

In their release, the association finally appealed to the President to expedite the processes that will lead to the uncapping of the NHIS levy, so as to strengthen the NHIS for larger coverage.
