Free Primary Health Care Aboboyaa

President John Dramani Mahama’s Free Primary Healthcare initiative, using Aboboyaa as a means to transport patients, has caused a commotion on the social media platform X.

The Ghana Health Service has said the Free Primary Healthcare Aboboyaa initiative is to ensure no Ghanaian is left behind when it comes to accessing essential health services.

In a post on X, they stated, “Today, we at Ghana Health Service commit to fully implementing the Free Primary Healthcare initiative and ensuring that no Ghanaian is left behind when it comes to accessing essential health services”.

However, netizens on X have been left unimpressed with the use of Aboboyaa as a means of transport.

One netizen on X highlighted that Aboboyaa as a primary healthcare provider is a Hell no!

He wrote, “Tricycle doesn’t fly, so how does it bypass those horrible roads? Over 69 years of independence, and Aboboyaa is a primary healthcare provider. Hell no!”.

Another X user added, “Zipline drones cancelled for this in big 2026. Oh God”.

“I genuinely want to know which government official came up with this idea”, one X user added.

“This was discussed at cabinet meeting ooo 😂😂😭💔like all of them agreed to do this for us. Adeɛ yi ahye me.

Nyame nkoaa ne nokwafou”, a netizen added.

Also another netizen on X slammed the John Mahama government for introducing an Aboboyaa as part of the vehicle being used under the  Free Primary Health Care program.

According to the netizen identified as Gen Buhari, President Mahama’s son, when sick, will never use this Aboboyaa under his own father’s Free Primary Health Care because it’s not safe.

In a post shared on X, the netizen wrote, “Breaking News 🚨🚨

Sharaf Mahama, when SICK, would never use this Aboboyaa under his own father’s Free Primary Health Care because it’s not safe.

Sadly, this aboboyaa is meant for the poor Ghanaian Citizens”.

Meanwhile, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), has commended Ghana and the John Mahama government for launching its Free Primary Health Care (FPHC) initiative.

In a post shared on his X page on April 16, 2026, the WHO Director-General wrote, “I congratulate the President of #Ghana, @JDMahama, and Minister of @mohgovgh, @KMAkandoh, on the launch of the Free Primary Health Care (FPHC) initiative.

This important milestone brings Ghana closer to achieving Universal Health Coverage. Strong primary health care is essential to improving population health, enabling earlier detection, timely treatment, and more effective disease prevention”.

In related news, a video has been shared on social media showing how the Free Primary Health Care Programme, launched by President John Dramani Mahama, detected a hypertensive patient just hours after launch.

According to reports, Beatrice Elikplim, a 53-year-old woman, walked into the facility to check her vitals and was found to have a hypertensive crisis.

In a post shared on X by TV3, read, “Just hours after President John Dramani Mahama launched the Free Primary Healthcare Programme at the Shai-Osudoku District Hospital, the new system proved its life-saving potential.

Beatrice Elikplim, a 53-year-old woman, walked into the facility to check her vitals and was found to have a hypertensive crisis with a blood pressure reading of 200/100 mmHg, a medical emergency that could have caused immediate organ damage or death”.
