The NDC campaign spokesperson on Health Prof. Titus Beyuo has raised concerns about a “lack of transparency” surrounding the government's Agenda 11 management, funding, and progress.
Speaking on Joy News' PM Express Manifesto Tracker, he criticised the decision to manage the project from the Office of the President rather than the Ministry of Health, which, he argued, limits transparency.
“This is the first time that we are having hospital constructions being managed from the Office of the President, not through the Ministry of Health,” he stated, emphasizing the unusual arrangement as a barrier to public accountability.
Prof. Beyuo maintained that without access to basic details—such as project costing, contracting procedures, and funding streams—completing the Agenda 111 hospitals remains uncertain.
For him, the lack of clear reporting on project milestones and funding has rendered Agenda 111 “a black box” that stymies opposition scrutiny and public confidence.
He argued, “For me to commit that we can complete these hospitals, we need to be able to publicly assess the contracting processes…and what has been done.”
Prof. Beyuo also voiced concerns over staffing and operationalisation challenges, which he argued could be problematic even if the hospital structures were completed.
“Completing a hospital, the physical structure, is different from operationalizing, as you have stated, equipping the hospital,” he explained, adding that a clear human resource plan is essential.

Rome was not built in a day
On his part, Presidential Advisor on Health Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare assured that a number of the Agenda 111 hospital projects will be completed and operational by the end of President Akufo-Addo’s term.
Speaking on the same show, he addressed the current status of the ambitious Agenda 111 initiative, launched to address healthcare accessibility through the construction of hospitals across Ghana.
“We are building, and building is not done over a day,” Dr Nsiah-Asare stated, responding to claims that the government has failed to deliver on the project.
He stated that substantial progress is being made: “As I speak tonight, I can conveniently tell you…100 of the hospitals are under construction.”
Dr Nsiah-Asare clarified the phased nature of the project, noting that 98 district hospitals are currently at various stages of development, with some “above 98% completion.”
According to him, the government will announce which hospitals will be ready for commissioning and operation within the next two months, aligning with the President’s goal to deliver some facilities before leaving office.
Outlining the achievements so far, he indicated that “out of the hundred that are at various stages of completion, 33 of them are above 70% completion,” suggesting that these facilities could be completed “within a very short period.”
Dr Nsiah-Asare affirmed that the administration has prioritized this initiative, saying, “We are managing it…we are certain.”
