None Of Akufo-Addo’s Agenda 111 Hospitals Functioning; $1.4bn Needed To Complete Them–Omane Boamah
Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Edward Omane Boamah, has criticised the status of the Agenda 111 hospital projects initiated under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, 4th January 2025, Dr Boamah stated that none of the hospitals are currently functional, despite significant resources being allocated to the initiative.
He also highlighted the need for an estimated $1.4 billion to complete the projects.
The outgoing president, Nana  Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has expressed his hope that  the President John Dramani Mahama's incoming administration will prioritize the Agenda 111 projects.
He stated that, over the years, he has worked diligently to build a reliable health system in the country, with one of his key initiatives being the Agenda 111 hospitals, which are currently under construction across the nation.
"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 said.
According to Akufo-Addo, out of the 111 hospitals and two proposed psychiatric hospitals under the initiative, three have already been commissioned. He added that the remaining projects are at various stages of development.
Delivering his final State of the Nation Address (SONA) at Parliament on Friday, January 3, the president expressed optimism that the projects will be completed in due course.
The Agenda 111 hospitals are part of an initiative by the Akufo-Addo government to construct healthcare facilities in 90 districts across the country.
The aim is to improve the country’s healthcare sector, especially in districts that lack major health facilities. However, some of the projects in certain districts are still at the foundation stage.
The initiative has cost the state millions of dollars, and the government recently announced that additional funds is needed to continue the construction.
