Government Packaging 35 Advanced Agenda 111 Hospital Projects for Completion – President Mahama

Speaking at the 68th Annual General Conference of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), President John Dramani Mahama announced that the government is packaging 35 hospital projects under the Agenda 111 initiative for final completion. He revealed that thorough assessments indicate these selected healthcare facilities have reached at least 70 percent completion. The initiative forms part of broader administrative efforts to prioritize and finalize near-complete health infrastructure across the nation.

​President Mahama explained that the primary hurdle in finalizing these projects has stemmed from existing contractual complications and procurement constraints. To address these bottlenecks, the Attorney-General's Department is currently reviewing the contracts to resolve technical and legal issues. This review will clear the path for the government to re-award and reactivate the projects, ensuring that physical construction and equipment installation can resume smoothly.

​Addressing healthcare professionals at the conference, the President emphasized that completing these 35 advanced hospital facilities remains central to his administration’s strategy to strengthen Ghana's health infrastructure. By completing these strategically located hospitals, the government aims to expand access to quality secondary and specialized medical care, relieve congestion at major tertiary referral centers, and bring essential emergency services closer to local communities.

​President Mahama reaffirmed his administration's commitment to collaborating closely with the GMA and key sector stakeholders to deliver sustainable healthcare delivery reforms. He urged the association to continue offering practical recommendations on health workforce deployment and emergency care, assuring doctors that completed health facilities will be fully resourced with necessary medical supplies, ambulances, and operational support to improve healthcare outcomes nationwide.
