The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has revealed that the Mahama administration has made three out of five Agenda 111 hospitals fully operational. These facilities were about 95 per cent complete by the end of 2024.
He explained that although the Akufo-Addo government commissioned the three health centres in December 2024, they remained non-functional at the time due to a shortage of staff and hospital beds.
Appearing before the Local Government and Rural Development Committee of Parliament on Tuesday, October 7, Dr. Amoakohene reaffirmed the government’s dedication to completing all Agenda 111 projects.
“With the intervention of the Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, we’ve been able to operationalise three out of the five that were near completion, i.e., Twedie, Suame, which is within your constituency, and then Drobonso. Two additional ones are near completion,” he stated.
“Once we’re able to get Oforikrom done, we should be able to operationalise that one and make sure it is open for the youth. So we have not abandoned the projects as the NPP left for us. We are taking very good care of them, and we make sure that once they are commissioned or started with the taxpayers’ money, to open it for the use for the good people of Ghana” he added.
