Agenda 111:Enough of the slogans! – Mahama chastises Akufo-Addo over failure to build hospitals

Former President John Mahama has demanded that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) take Ghanaians serious with respect to the promises they make to them. He wants the NPP to stop the sloganeering and act.

Using the promise of by the Akufo-Addo-led administration to build some 111 hospitals to strengthen health care delivery, Mr Mahama noted that the promise is in its fourth year with none of the hospital completed.

“The ‘Agenda 111’ hospitals promise is in its 4th year, yet not a single hospital has been completed to support quality health care delivery.

This is contrary to the lofty promise made in 2020. The NPP must learn to take Ghanaians serious.
Enough of the slogans!” He wrote.

In 2020 in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Akufo-Addo promised to build some 88 hospitals in various parts of the country within eighteen months so as to shore up existing health facilities. The figure was revised in 2021 to 111 hospitals. But none of the hospitals has been completed for use.
