Government Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has disclosed that none of the hospitals under the Agenda 111 initiative were functional before the end of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.
Speaking on JoyNews AM Show, Mr Kwakye Ofosu said, “It is a fact that before the Akufo-Addo government left office, not a single hospital under Agenda 111 was functional. The projects were ongoing, but none were serving patients as intended.”
He explained that while the hospitals were part of a bold plan to improve health infrastructure, the previous government failed to complete them in a manner that delivered immediate healthcare benefits.
“The intention was there, but the implementation fell short. The facilities were mostly under construction and could not serve the public,” he noted.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu stressed that the current administration is prioritising the completion and commissioning of the hospitals to ensure they are fully operational and accessible.
“Our priority now is to fast-track these hospitals so that they can contribute meaningfully to healthcare delivery across the country,” he said.
He also criticised the political use of the unfinished hospitals, arguing that presenting them as achievements despite their lack of functionality was misleading. “The people deserve tangible results, not unfinished structures,” he stated.
