NDC’s Director of Elections and IT, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has criticized the progress of the Agenda 111 hospital projects initiated by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

In a Facebook post on January 4, 2025, he pointed out that none of the hospitals are operational, despite substantial resources being invested.

He also noted that an additional $1.4 billion is required to complete them.

His comments came after President Akufo-Addo highlighted Agenda 111 as a key healthcare initiative during his final State of the Nation Address on January 3, 2025.

The Agenda 111 project, launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed to build 111 hospitals, including regional and psychiatric facilities, to address healthcare challenges in Ghana.

While some progress has been made, the initiative remains incomplete as President Nana Akufo-Addo's term concludes in three days.

President Akufo-Addo has encouraged incoming President John Dramani Mahama to prioritize finishing the projects, expressing hope that their completion would greatly improve healthcare services across the country.

Dr. Edward Omane Boamah pointed out that none of the Agenda 111 hospitals are operational, emphasizing that this reflects flaws in planning and execution during President Akufo-Addo’s administration.

He argued that despite the significant resources invested, the initiative's goals remain unachieved, highlighting the need for better oversight and strategic implementation.

"None of the Agenda 111 hospitals is functioning. Uncompleted! US$1.4billion needed to complete."

The Agenda 111 programme, while ambitious, has faced challenges ranging from funding shortfalls to delays in construction.
