Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president, has praised the role of Ghana's current NPP administration in eliminating gender inequality.

Dr. Bawumia disclosed that the NPP government had put in place a number of clever policies that had greatly reduced gender imbalance in Ghanaian society.

Speaking at the inaugural Afro-Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum now taking place in Barbados, the Vice President made the discovery.

Dr Mahamadu Bawumia pointed to several government policies which have contributed towards creating more gender parity in Ghana.

The Vice President cited the use of medical drones to deliver medical supplies all over the country as a policy that has contributed to reducing gender disparity.

"The medical drone delivery system, one of the finest in the world, has six centres undertaking 100 flights per day, supplying blood products and medical suppliers to rural areas and helping to save expectant mothers and ultimately reducing the maternal mortality rate in Ghana."

The Vice President also pointed to the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, which has had the side effect of increasing female enrolment and once again, increasing gender parity.
