According to her, Ghana has come a long way and universal healthcare is long overdue.

She made the remarks after donating medical equipment to health centers in the Tamale North Constituency on Friday, November 1, 2024.
“By equipping our local clinics with these essential supplies, we are taking a meaningful step toward bridging this gap. We are working to make healthcare not a privilege for a few, but a right for everyone” she opined.
Madam Lordina Mahama added “Our rural communities face unique challenges—the distance they have to travel to receive medical care, the limited resources at these rural health care facilities, and sometimes lack of health care professional are all a challenge to their health and well-being”.
She said moral society must not sit on the fence and watch the health sector deteriorate.
“I encourage each of you to keep supporting healthcare initiatives, raise your voices, and work towards making healthcare accessible for all”.
