I hope “Agenda 111” vision will be realised under Mahama, says Akufo-Addo

Outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on the incoming administration of John Dramani Mahama to prioritize the completion of the “Agenda 111” hospitals, a flagship health infrastructure initiative introduced under his leadership.

Addressing Parliament during his final State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Friday (3 January), Akufo-Addo reflected on his administration’s efforts to strengthen the country’s healthcare system.

“The most important intervention is the Agenda 111 project that we have embarked upon. I am hoping that the incoming Mahama administration will ensure that the project is completed so we can have our health infrastructure in a sound state,” he stated.

The Agenda 111 initiative involves constructing 111 district hospitals and two psychiatric hospitals nationwide. According to Akufo-Addo, three facilities have already been commissioned, while others are at various stages of completion.

The program, launched during Akufo-Addo’s tenure, aims to address gaps in healthcare by equipping districts without major health facilities. Despite progress, some projects remain at the foundation stage, with calls for additional funding to expedite construction.

Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of continuity in governance, noting the long-term benefits of completing the Agenda 111 initiative.

“Over the years, I have worked diligently to build a reliable health system. I am optimistic that this initiative will be seen through to the end for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” he added.

The project has faced financial challenges, costing the state millions of dollars so far. However, the outgoing president remains hopeful that the incoming administration will prioritize its successful execution to bolster the country’s healthcare infrastructure.
