The Convention People’s Party (CPP) says it will offer hope to Ghanaians who are in despair when given the nod to govern this country in the December 7 polls.
Outlining some policies in the yet-to-be launched manifesto of the CPP, the National Chairman and Leader of the party, Professor Edmund N. Delle in an interview over the weekend indicated that, his party’s policies will bring economic relief to majority of Ghanaians.

“Our overriding aim will be to reduce inequalities in standards of health care for all who need it”, the veteran politician said.
He mentioned that, the party when it forms the next government after the December 7 elections, will among other things give priority to improving the primary health care services, especially in the deprived communities in the inner cities and continue to improve the ante-natal and maternity services and develop child health services.
Prof Delle also pointed out that, priority will be given to community health system so as to ensure that there are enough facilities available.
Still on health, Prof Delle who himself is a dermatologist said, a CPP government will show a major interest in the pharmaceutical industry.

Concerning affordable housing, he said the party will work with the Building and Road Research Institute, the Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA) and other stakeholders in the housing industry to provide low-cost technologies for building high-quality and high-capacity homes and apartments across the country.
