Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), running mate of the Movement for Change and the Afafranto Alliance has announced that an Alan Kyerematen administration will launch the Ghana Rural Ageing Support Programme (GRASP) to improve elderly care in rural communities.<\/p>\n
KOD shared this on the Caravan Campaign Tour in Bibiani, Western North Region, emphasizing GRASP\u2019s advantages over the current Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program through its comprehensive approach to both health and financial well-being.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur elders deserve more than what LEAP currently offers,\u201d KOD explained, highlighting GRASP\u2019s focus on healthcare, an area he noted as a significant gap in LEAP. \u201cGRASP will address the financial needs of our elderly while prioritizing their health, which has been largely overlooked.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the core of GRASP will be a specialized National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) for the elderly in rural areas, covering common age-related health concerns.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlan Kyerematen is fully committed to the welfare of the aged in rural Ghana, and GRASP is a testament to that commitment,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
KOD also noted that GRASP would provide a minimum monthly stipend of GH\u00a2200 to each elderly beneficiary, offering consistent financial support. \u201cWe\u2019re not just providing healthcare,\u201d he said, \u201cwe\u2019re also ensuring direct financial assistance to enhance their quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Addressing concerns around LEAP\u2019s effectiveness, KOD assured the crowd of GRASP\u2019s emphasis on transparency and efficiency. \u201cToo often, LEAP\u2019s intended beneficiaries don\u2019t receive the support due to system inefficiencies. GRASP will be diligent and ensure that actual recipients receive the support they deserve,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur elders have served this nation, and it\u2019s our duty to care for them with respect and dignity,\u201d KOD concluded, encouraging voters to support the Movement for Change to make GRASP a reality for every elderly Ghanaian in rural areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
