Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has disclosed that government is considering three financing options to ensure the completion of the Agenda 111 hospital projects.

Speaking on Ekosii Sen, the Minister said President John Dramani Mahama has assured that none of the projects will be abandoned despite current challenges.

According to him, the options under consideration include direct government funding for the completion of some hospitals, partnerships with corporate and religious bodies to support non-profit completion of others, and private sector participation under public-private partnership arrangements.

Mr. Akandoh explained that the measures are aimed at accelerating progress and ensuring that most of the facilities are completed as planned.

He added that he has engaged some contractors and encouraged those who have left site to return to work, noting that he will soon embark on inspections to assess progress.

The Minister further indicated that provisions in the 2026 budget will be used to support the completion of the projects and improve healthcare delivery across the country.

“President Mahama has assured us that no project will be abandoned. I have met some contractors and encouraged those who are not currently on site to return. Soon, I will be inspecting the progress,” he said.
