President Akufo-Addo has announced that the government’s Agenda 111 Hospital Projects will create approximately 67,000 jobs upon completion.
During the commissioning of the Adansi North Hospital in Fomena in the Ashanti Region on Wednesday (17 July) the President emphasised the transformative nature of the initiative, highlighting that each hospital can employ over 100 people.
“There’s an average number of 120 workers on each construction site, and when completed, an average of 559 persons will be employed in a district hospital, 1,343 in the regional hospital, and 947 in each psychiatric hospital. This means that 67,635 people will be employed in the Agenda 111 Hospitals,” President Akufo-Addo assured.
The Agenda 111 hospital project, a flagship initiative of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, aims to significantly enhance healthcare accessibility across the country.
The inauguration of the 120-bed Fomena Hospital project in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region marks the end of a prolonged delay in its completion. Initiated in 2014, the project faced multiple postponements due to funding issues, leading to concerns from residents of the Adansi Traditional Area who urged authorities to ensure its completion.
At the inauguration ceremony, President Akufo-Addo emphasised that the completion of the hospital was a testament to the government’s commitment to providing modern health facilities by current healthcare standards nationwide.
