Former President John Dramani Mahama has chastised the government on it's slow pace in delivering the Agenda 111 hospital projects.

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

The Akuffo Addo led government has secured US$100 million start-up fund through the Ghana Investment Infrastructure Fund (GIIF) for the commencement of works on ‘Agenda 111’ district, specialized and regional hospitals across the country.

The Agenda 111 project includes 101 district hospitals, six regional hospitals in the newly created regions, two specialized hospitals in the middle and northern belts, as well as a regional hospital in the Western Region and renovation of the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital.

The objective of the Project was to significantly deepen delivery of quality healthcare at the district level, boost access to healthcare services for all citizens towards ensuring the attainment of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal Three.

But in a post on Facebook Saturday January 14, the former President pointed out that, "This is contrary to the lofty promise made in 2020. The NPP must learn to take Ghanaians serious."

"Enough of the slogans", he added.
