The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has stated that the Mahama government has operationalised 3 out of 5 Agenda 111 hospitals, which were approximately 95 per cent complete at the end of 2024.

The Minister said that although three of the health centres were commissioned by the Akufo-Addo government in December 2024, the facilities were non-functional due to the lack of staff and beds.

Appearing before the Local Government and Rural Development Committee of Parliament on Tuesday, October 7, Dr. Amoakohene pledged the government’s commitment towards the completion of the Agenda 111 projects.

“With the intervention of the Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, we’ve been able to operationalise three out of the five that were near completion, i.e., Twedie, Suame, which is within your constituency, and then Drobonso. Two additional ones are near completion.

He added, “Once we’re able to get Oforikrom done, we should be able to operationalise that one and make sure it is open for the youth. So we have not abandoned the projects as the NPP left for us. We are taking very good care of them, and we make sure that once they are commissioned or started with the taxpayers’ money, to open it for the use for the good people of Ghana.”….
