The Member of Parliament for Atwima Nwabiagya North, Frank Yeboah, has criticised the government’s allocation of GHS100 million for the completion of 10 Agenda 111 hospital projects, describing it as so inadequate that it could take nearly 200 years to finish the programme.
Speaking during the debate on the 2026 budget on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, Mr. Yeboah noted that each Agenda 111 hospital is estimated to cost about GHS1.7 billion, putting the total cost for all ten facilities at approximately GHS19.26 billion.
He argued that the current allocation is “grossly insufficient” to make any meaningful impact.
“If you divide GHS19.26 billion by the GHS100 million allocated, it means that at this pace, the Agenda 111 project will be completed in the year 2219 — 193 years from now. Why is the NDC government not prioritising the health centres of this country?” he asked.
Mr. Yeboah warned that without a significant injection of funding, the hospitals will remain stalled, leaving many communities without access to essential healthcare.
Agenda 111 was launched by the previous administration in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, after it was discovered that more than 100 districts and some regional capitals lacked hospitals. While construction began under the former government, most facilities remain unfinished.
