“Whether in remote rural communities or high-density urban centres, our aim is the same a health facility within reach of every Ghanaian,” he stressed.
The Agenda 111 project was launched in 2021 with the objective of building district and regional hospitals across the country to improve access to healthcare. However, the initiative has faced delays, with several facilities still at various stages of completion.
President Mahama assured journalists that the government is determined to finish what has been started, describing healthcare delivery as a top priority for his administration.
