President John Dramani Mahama has raised concerns over how the previous government handled the Agenda 111 hospital project, stating that nearly $400 million was spent without delivering a single functional facility.

During his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) in his second term on Tuesday, he criticized the substantial expenditure, noting that none of the hospitals were completed and put to use.

The Agenda 111 initiative was designed to expand healthcare infrastructure by constructing hospitals nationwide.

However, Mahama pointed out that despite the large financial commitment, not one of the facilities is fully operational.

“It is worth disclosing that USD400m has already been disbursed under agenda 111 project,” President Mahama said, indicating that yet not a single hospital under this gargantuan initiative is serving the people of Ghana.

President Mahama pointed out that if resources had been managed effectively, the money already used would have been sufficient to build and open at least 22 of the intended hospitals.
