President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that his government will require $1.7 billion to complete the unfinished Agenda 111 hospital projects across the country.
Speaking at a meeting with the Christian Council, he revealed that nearly 90 of the hospitals initiated under the previous government remain incomplete, with some commissioned facilities lacking basic medical equipment.
“The previous government started Agenda 111 but has not been able to finish the hospitals. There are so many of them unfinished. Even the ones they commissioned don’t have a single bed. Now, we need $1.7 billion to complete the Agenda 111 projects,” he lamented.
To address the delays, Mahama proposed a collaboration with religious institutions to help complete and manage some of the facilities.
“If the missions have a hospital in an area, we are not coming to compete with them by building another hospital. Instead, we will use the resources to improve mission hospitals so that they can provide the needed services,” he explained.
He further invited interested religious bodies to take over and complete some of the unfinished hospitals, ensuring efficient management and service delivery.
President Mahama reassured Ghanaians that his government remains committed to completing all Agenda 111 projects to enhance healthcare accessibility across the country.
