The Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, has announced that 21 hospitals under the ambitious Agenda 111 project will be completed before the December 7 elections.

She stated that a total of 87 hospitals are currently under construction, with the projects at advanced stages, adding that originally, 101 district hospitals were planned, but this number has increased to 104 due to the inclusion of the Nkoransa and Karaga districts.

The project also includes 10 referral, regional, and mental hospitals in Kumasi, Tamale, and Koforidua, she said in an interview on the Angel Morning Show on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.

“As I speak to you today, 87 hospitals of the Agenda 111 project are off-ground [contractor begins work having done all feasibility studies]. Initially, we had 101 district hospitals, but there have been an additional three due to the inclusion of the Nkoransa and Karaga districts into the project.

“Apart from the 101, the remaining 10 are referral hospitals, regional hospitals, and mental hospitals in Kumasi, Tamale and not forgetting the Koforidua regional hospital that has seen improvement in its project,” the minister explained on Angel TV on August 13, 2024.

The minister emphasized President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s strong commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery, noting that over 20 of these facilities are expected to be completed within the next four months.

Of these, 10 are slated for commissioning, she stressed.

The hospitals nearing completion are located at Dadieso, Nyinahin, Adabokrom, Agona Nsaba, Awutu Bereku, Mpohor, Asene Manso, Akyem Swedru, Apegusu, Ahanta-Agona, Abomosu, and Garu Tempane, among others.
