Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has criticized the current state of the Agenda 111 hospital projects initiated under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration, emphasizing that none of the facilities are operational despite substantial financial allocations.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 4, 2025, Dr. Boamah revealed that an estimated $1.4 billion would be required to complete the hospitals, which remain unfinished as the President’s tenure nears its end.

His comments came after President Akufo-Addo's final State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Friday, January 3.

During the address, the President highlighted the Agenda 111 initiative as a pivotal project aimed at transforming Ghana’s healthcare system. He described it as a significant step towards addressing the country’s healthcare infrastructure deficits.

The Agenda 111 initiative, launched during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, sought to build 111 district and regional hospitals, including psychiatric facilities, across the nation.

While acknowledging some progress, Dr. Boamah stressed that the facilities remain non-functional despite the substantial resources allocated to the initiative.

As President Akufo-Addo prepares to leave office in three days, he has called on President-elect John Dramani Mahama to prioritize the completion of the Agenda 111 hospitals, expressing hope that the full execution of the project would greatly improve healthcare delivery nationwide.
