“Akufo-Addo’s Healthcare Legacy: Over 40 Hospitals and Facilities Completed”

The government has constructed over 40 hospitals and other healthcare facilities across the nation, according to a thorough report written by Dr. Nsiah Asare, the president’s health advisor.

The government has finished ten hospital projects that it inherited from President Kufuor’s administration, according to the report.

These hospital projects are not part of the Agenda 111 hospitals initiative.

Government advisor on health, Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, states that efforts are being made to fortify the nation’s healthcare system in order to enhance accessibility and raise the standard of care provided everywhere in the whole country.

He stated that in addition to building new medical facilities like the Agenda 111 Health Projects, the government is also extending its infrastructure by giving medical staff members specialized and sub-specialized training so they could handle the problems of providing healthcare at regional and district hospitals.

In addition to announcing the impending opening of 18 new district hospitals across the nation, he stated that the majority of the Agenda 111 Projects would soon be finished and operational.

He claims that this will support government efforts to give Ghanaians access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.

He also asserts that this will support government efforts to give Ghanaians access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.

“We are confident that we may be able to finish about 50 plus of them this year. What is left for us to do is the finishing touches on some of them. As I am speaking today, equipment procurement evaluation is ongoing. So far, so good.”

According to him, the completion of the Fomena and Kumawu Hospitals was evidence of his administration’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge medical facilities that meet the most recent national healthcare standards.

He said the two projects formed part of a broader agenda to complete numerous healthcare projects, saying that upcoming hospitals set for commissioning include five hospitals in Elubo, Mpohor, Bogoso, Nsuaem, and Wassa Akropong as well as a public health facility at Akontonbra and the Ashanti Regional Hospital at Sewua.

“By the end of 2024, we will also complete several significant projects including the urology and nephrology Centre of excellence at the Korlebu Teaching Hospital,” Dr Nsiah Asare stated.

He also spoke about the construction of 11 district hospitals and one polyclinic in the Ashanti, Eastern, Greater Accra and Ahafo Regions and various treatment and holding centres being under construction.

“These efforts align with our commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage, and guarantee improved and more efficient health services for all Ghanaians,” he noted.

According to Dr Nsiah Asare, the healthcare delivery system in the country is evident in the Agenda 111 initiative which is providing 111 standard 100-bed district hospitals and accommodation for doctors and nurses.

He assured Ghanaians that the trust placed in his government would not be in vain, adding that, the government had made substantial investments in the health sector to complete as many infrastructural projects as possible for the benefit of all Ghanaians.

Dr Nsiah-Asare called for continued support for the government to provide the needed quality healthcare services for the people in the country.
