Ghanaians are calling on the President-Elect of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo to consider allowing Dr Bernard Okoe Boye and Dr Aboagye Dacosta to play a crucial role in the country’s healthcare sector.
According to some Ghanaians, these two experts have shown over the past few years that they have what it takes to contribute immensely to Ghana’s healthcare based on their expertise, excellent work ethics, and the pivotal roles they played in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr Bernard Okoe Boye who is a Medical doctor and practitioner at the Lekma Government Hospital before his appointment as the Deputy Minister for Health showed commitment in contributing to improving the health of the people in and beyond his constituency by organizing regular health screening for them and helping to improve the infrastructure of health facilities in his area. He also provided the needed support to the Health Ministry in terms of effective media engagement and technical know-how to help fight the pandemic.
Dr Da Coasta Aboagye who is the Director of Health Promotion at the Ghana Health Service (GHS) since his assumption of office has also worked relentlessly to ensure that Ghanaians adopt healthy lifestyles, drumming home the message of the much neglected preventive health practices. Also, he actively engaged the media and general public, providing constant health education both on and off-camera, allaying the fears of Ghanaians at a time when little was known about the coronavirus. He has been instrumental in the daily activities of government, serving on several technical committees in the COVID-19 fight. With a wealth of experience and skill in the National Health Insurance scheme, healthcare finance, public health and health promotion, Dr Dacosta Aboagye will with no doubt be one of the best fit for the president’s health agenda in Ghana.
On various platforms, these two knowledgeable young gentlemen gave Ghanaians insights into the dynamics of the pandemic and were observed to have the needed requirements and experience that will help the next government of President Akufo-Addo to address the health sector challenges.
According to some Ghanaians, Since the NPP’s 2020 election Manifesto on health provides a shift from the usual curative health services towards preventive and promotive health, the president-elect can harness the expertise of Dr Okoye Boye and Dr Aboaye Dacosta’s at the Ministry of Health and National Health Insurance to support this vision.
In the last few weeks, Kingdom Fm has been monitoring the various media house discussions on president Akuffo Addo’s next ministerial appointments and sighted various comments from Ghanaians on various platforms pleading with the President-elect to consider bringing on board the expertise of Dr Okoe Boye and Dr DaCosta Aboagye when it comes to health sector appointments. A couple of these comments are attached to this story.
There is no doubt that these two gentlemen have won the hearts and minds of Ghanaians in their respective roles in helping fight the COVID-19 pandemic

The president will do the right thing. We Ghanaians send a strong signal to NPP and the president on 7/12/20. Things must change and the old things cannot continue again. The youth is the future and cannot be ignored.
Who God bless NO evil can stop it. Much love for Hon Dr Okoe Boye and Dr Da Costa. Both are kind and party footsoilders need them badly. Just visit them in the office and see how they will listen to you and solve your problems. I am a testimony to their kindness. They understand the party youth . Time asono ooo. God bless them
These two gentlemen are my favourite for health . They are very committed party folks, young, very respected in Ghana and international. they should be given a chance because they can do it. Ghana needs such young excelling personalities. Most institutions couldn't communicate what they were doing to the public .These gents brought new dynamics in the Health ministry by explaining and educating Ghanaians on Covid.
Dr Okoe Boye wants to take his boss Hon Agyeman Manu's job. This is wickness. what has okoe Boye done than talking in the media. He's not doing any job at the MOH. He should give us a break
the president needs the youth and this is the time. I am rooting for both for any appointment. they deserve it papa.
Any Mp who lost his seat like Dr Okoe boye away away away. Okoe boye is talking to project himself for health minister. Apuuu
Eish, my former lecturer Dr Dacosta . Trust me he is more than excellent . my class and students love him so much and I am not surprised he's performing so well . I have never enjoyed class since he left for Ghana.
I like these young guys okoe boye and dacosta . Very good , dynamic and hardworking fellows.
Dacoster, How long have you been at ghs. Those of us within are not seeing and have not gotten any positive thing from you. What have you done at ghs. Stop disturbing our ears.
Aboagye Dacosta should stop moving from office to office lobbying for a position already occupied by a strong, loyal and hard working patriot who had worked in the organisation for over 15 years. Stop publishing these articles which will not help you. We will match you boot for boot. First it was the CEOs position. Now its the Deputy. Look elsewhere. Listen, there are even more qualified patriots within that organisation, whose capacity has been built to take up the mantle when this current leadership retire. This woman, whose job you are seriously lobbying for, has supported this party since 1992. Where were you?? Loyal as she is, she's loved by all. Show us your contributions towards this election. Look elsewhere to prove your worth. You come no where near her in terms of delivery. She has considerable number of years experience within the health sector. Stop the unnecessary backbiting. Don't ever compare yourself with Dr Okoe Boye because his integrity is not questionable like you. We the foot soldiers within the health sector are ready for you.
