President Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to launch Agenda 111 Hospital projects on 17th August 2021, according to Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta.
He said the team that has been working on this project, in terms of the design completed 88 site work which features 60 to 10-bed capacity Hospital for some Districts across the Country.
Mr. Ken Ofori Atta in an interview with Accra-based Asaase Radio said funds are ready for the first phase of the projects through the Ghana Investment Infrastructure Fund.
President Akufo Addo has said the realization of Agenda 111 will lead to Ghana becoming a center of medical excellence and a destination for medical tourism.
Delivering the State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament in March, he said the construction of some of the Agenda 111 hospitals had commenced and would continue without interruptions.
President Akufo-Addo said Agenda 111 would see the construction of 100-bed district hospitals in one hundred and one (101) districts with no hospitals.
He said Agenda 111, the largest ever investment in healthcare infrastructure in Ghana’s history, was part of a massive vision for Ghana’s healthcare sector.
The President said seven regional hospitals for the new regions, including one for the Western Region, the construction of two new psychiatric hospitals for the Middle Belt and Northern Belt, and the rehabilitation of the Effia-Nkwanta Hospital in the Western Region, were all on course, under the project.
