The former Director of BOG cited digitisation as an example of the Vice President’s vision, which had been thriving and making a significant impact in Ghana.

He added that in the 2018 Annual Health Summit in Accra, the Vice President said Ghana would by September 2018 use drones to distribute blood and other essential medicines to remote parts of the country as part of efforts to ensure quality healthcare delivery and Ghanaians are witnessing just that.
