Health Minister Kwabena Minta Akandoh has stated that the government will prioritise the completion of health infrastructure projects under the Agenda 111 initiative that are over 70% complete.
He emphasised that this approach is aimed at delivering tangible outcomes while ensuring no community is left behind in the quest for equitable access to quality healthcare.
"For the Agenda 111 initiative, we will prioritise the completion of projects that are more than 80% complete," he said at the Government’s Accountability Series on Friday, July 18.
“Our government’s resolve is clear: to leave no community behind in the journey to excellent health infrastructure," he added.
The Agenda 111 initiative, launched under the previous government, aimed to construct 111 healthcare facilities across the country.
This included 101 district hospitals, seven regional hospitals, two psychiatric hospitals, and the redevelopment of the Accra Psychiatric Hospital. The programme was designed to bridge the healthcare access gap in underserved areas and improve the overall resilience of the national health system.
The once-famous project hit a stumbling block due to a lack of sustainable funding. Many of the projects have been abandoned at various stages across the country.
