Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has revealed none of the Agenda 111 hospital projects inaugurated by the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government have been completed.

According to him, all the hospital projects are currently under construction and at various stages of completion.

He expressed surprise over the fact that although none of the hospitals are yet operational, they were inaugurated by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo before he left office.

During an inspection tour of the projects at the Atwima Kwanwoma Municipal Hospital in Trede in the Ashanti Region on Monday, March 3, 2025, Mintah Akandoh said President John Dramani Mahama had tasked him to work out the completion of the projects.

“I have been directed by the President to transfer the Agenda 111 hospitals from the presidency to the Ministry of Health, and also to oversee their completion.

“Where I am standing is one of the hospitals, and when it comes to hospitals, it is not just about the building alone but also the necessary facilities and staff that make up a functional hospital.

“Upon our inspection, we cannot call this place a hospital because construction is still ongoing.

“Based on the briefing I received from the same consultant employed by the previous government, none of the hospitals have been completed,” the Health Minister said.

Indeed, President Mahama, last Thursday, disclosed in the State of the Nation Address that the Akufo-Addo government had completed none of the Agenda 111 projects it started, with the only one near completion yet to be operational.

The President further criticised the decision of the previous government to site hospitals at places where mission hospitals existed.

He pointed out that rather than starting the construction of new facilities, the Akufo-Addo administration should have collaborated with faith-based organisations to make their existing health facilities better.

The President indicated that one of the solutions to completing the projects would be for faith-based organisations to take up some of them.

He said the missions could take some of the uncompleted Agenda 111 projects, complete them and manage them.
