Actor cum politician John Dumelo has appealed to President Akufo-Addo to open the University of Ghana Medical Centre following the growing number of Coronavirus cases in the country.
The 35-year-old is the parliamentary aspirant of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency.
In a Twitter post, Dumelo said opening the facility has become necessary because the number of Covid-19 cases is bound to increase in the coming weeks.
He suggested that a facility with over 600 beds should not be lying idle at a time when the nation is battling a pandemic.
“The cases are now 68. We are not praying for it to increase but that looks inevitable now,†Dumelo wrote.
“I would like to please beg His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo to please open the 615 bed University of Ghana Medical Center for the purpose of managing the virus. Respectfully Sir.â€
