The Ministry of Health says the three Agenda 111 hospitals the New Patriotic Party Minority claims to be completed is 95 per cent complete.

The NPP had said that the Trede, Kokoben, and Ahanta hospitals were fully completed and operational.

But the Ministry in a statement on Tuesday March 4 clarified that the projects remain unfinished, noting that $8.03m was required to complete each.

According to the Ministry, no medical equipment has been installed in the hospitals, and some laboratory facilities are still under construction.

Furthermore, these hospitals have not yet been handed over to the Ghana Health Service for operation, highlighting the gap between the commissioning ceremony and the actual readiness of the facilities.

This expenditure required is expected to cover the installation of necessary medical equipment and the completion of remaining construction work.

“Although Trede, Kokoben, and Ahanta hospitals were commissioned by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the project is still under construction with an overall completion rate of 95%.

No medical equipment has been installed, and some laboratory facilities are still under construction. The hospitals have not been handed over to the Ghana Health Service for operation. The estimated cost to make Trede, Kokoben and Ahantan facilities operational is $8.03 million each.”
