A resident of Weija, Haruna Amidu, has indicated that residents are considering another demonstration over the continued delay in commissioning the Weija-Gbawe Children’s Hospital.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, he said residents have received no clear updates on the status of the facility.
“We have not received any update on the issue,” he said.
He added that although there was initial attention from government following media reports, no further action has been taken on the ground.
“Since the issue came up and the media picked it up, it looked like government was going to act, but even after about three weeks, nobody has come here. No one has visited the hospital to check whether it is ready for use,” he stated.
According to him, residents are now preparing to take further action if the situation is not addressed.
“So now we are preparing ourselves to embark on a massive demonstration,” he warned.
The Weija-Gbawe Children’s Hospital project has been at the centre of public discussion in recent weeks amid concerns over delays in opening the facility despite the completion of major construction works.
Meanwhile, the World Bank has urged government to expedite the operationalisation and opening of the facility, stressing that the multi-million-dollar project was intended to strengthen healthcare delivery, particularly for children.
