In a significant boost to the healthcare industry, President Akufo-Addo has announced that the Agenda 111 Hospital Projects will generate approximately 67,000 job opportunities upon completion. This landmark initiative aims to revolutionize healthcare accessibility across Ghana, with each hospital capable of employing over 100 people.
During the commissioning of the Adansi North Hospital in Fomena, Ashanti Region, President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed the government’s commitment to completing the hospitals, emphasizing the transformative impact on the healthcare sector. He revealed that each construction site currently employs an average of 120 workers, with a total of 559 persons to be employed in district hospitals, 1,343 in regional hospitals, and 947 in psychiatric hospitals upon completion.
The Agenda 111 hospital project, a flagship initiative of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, has overcome funding hurdles and delays to finally come to fruition. The inauguration of the 120-bed Fomena Hospital project in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region marks a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to provide modern health facilities nationwide.
With the completion of these hospitals, Ghana’s healthcare sector is poised for a significant transformation, offering enhanced accessibility and job opportunities for thousands of citizens.
