Mahama: $1.7 Billion Needed to Complete Agenda 111 Hospitals
Accra, February 25, 2025
President John Dramani Mahama has revealed that his administration requires $1.7 billion to complete the unfinished Agenda 111 hospital projects initiated under the previous government.
Speaking at a meeting with the Christian Council, President Mahama expressed concern that nearly 90 of the hospitals remain uncompleted, with some commissioned facilities lacking essential 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 stated.
Proposed Collaboration with Religious Institutions
President Mahama proposed a partnership with religious organizations to help expedite the completion of some of the hospitals.
“If the missions have a hospital in an area, we are not coming to compete with the missions by building a hospital. We will use the resources to improve the mission hospitals so that they can provide the service,” he explained.
He encouraged faith-based organizations to consider taking over and managing some of the incomplete hospitals to ensure timely healthcare delivery in underserved areas.
Commitment to Healthcare Development
The President assured Ghanaians that his administration remains committed to completing all Agenda 111 projects to enhance access to quality healthcare nationwide.
