Speaking to the media on February 6, 2026, Akandoh said the policy framework, which focuses on three key priority areas, has already been developed. The current phase, he explained, aims to secure broad national support before the policy is formally implemented. Acknowledging the challenges inherent in policy rollout, the minister urged against waiting for perfection before implementation. “If we wait for perfection before implementation, we will never implement any policy,” he said, adding that the Free Primary Health Care Policy represents a critical opportunity to transform healthcare delivery and tackle long-standing sectoral challenges.
