President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated government’s commitment to completing the La General Hospital reconstruction project, assuring that all necessary efforts are being made to deliver the facility for public use.
He gave the assurance during a working visit to the project site on Friday, April 24, where he inspected ongoing works and engaged contractors and project officials.
The visit forms part of broader government efforts to revive stalled infrastructure projects across the country, particularly in the health and roads sectors, amid growing demand driven by rapid urbanisation.
Speaking to journalists at the site, President Mahama underscored the importance of completing the hospital to improve access to quality healthcare for residents of Accra and surrounding communities.
“Accra is a fast-growing city and so the population demands quality healthcare. We will do everything possible to complete this project so that we can afford quality healthcare for our people,” he said.
The La General Hospital reconstruction project, valued at about €50 million, is expected to deliver a modern healthcare facility equipped with advanced medical infrastructure and expanded capacity to serve thousands of patients annually.
When completed, the facility is expected to ease pressure on existing health centres and improve access to essential medical services in the capital.
Authorities say the project has resumed steady progress, with a revised completion timeline set for 2027.
