Health Ministry Denies Claims of Completed Agenda 111 Hospitals

The Ministry of Health has dismissed claims that three hospitals under the Agenda 111 project were completed, equipped, and commissioned before the previous government left office.

In a statement issued on March 4, 2025, the Ministry urged the public to ignore these claims, which were made by former Finance Minister Dr. Amin Adams. According to the Ministry, inspections of the Trede, Kokoben, and Ahanta hospitals showed that the buildings are still under construction and have no installed medical equipment.

The Ministry also clarified that while $400 million has been spent on the project, none of the 111 hospitals is currently operational. Completing the entire project is now estimated to cost $1.589 billion. Additionally, an extra $8.03 million is needed to make the Trede, Kokoben, and Ahanta hospitals functional.

The Ministry assured Ghanaians of its commitment to finishing the hospitals as soon as possible to improve healthcare services. It also urged the public to be patient as work continues on the project.
