Former President John Dramani Mahama has once again taken a swipe at the ruling New Patriotic Party.
He is wondering why after several years of it’s launch, the Agenda 111 initiative has not seen the light of day.
The former president said although it has been four years since the initiative was launched, not a single hospital has been completed.
Mr.Mahama indicated that this os contrary to the lofty promises the NPP made to Ghanaians before they won power.
The Agenda 111 project includes 101 district hospitals, six regional hospitals in the newly created regions, two specialised 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.
According to the government, 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 Mr. Mahama believes the objective has not been met.
In a short Facebook post, he wrote “The ‘Agenda 111’ hospitals promise is in its 4th year, yet not a single hospital has been completed to support quality health care delivery.
This is contrary to the lofty promise made in 2020. The NPP must learn to take Ghanaians serious.
Enough of the slogans!”
