President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is set to inaugurate three hospitals today, under the government's Agenda 111 priority hospital projects. The hospitals are located in Trede and Kokoben in the Ashanti Region, and in the Ahanta West Municipality of the Western Region .




These hospitals mark the beginning of the rollout of completed Agenda 111 facilities, with more hospitals scheduled to be opened on a monthly basis in the coming months. The Agenda 111 project aims to construct 111 health facilities, including district hospitals, regional hospitals, and specialized mental health hospitals .

The project was conceived as part of the government's response to the gaps in healthcare delivery exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. President Akufo-Addo has described the initiative as "the largest investment in healthcare infrastructure in Ghana's history" .

The hospitals are equipped with modern medical technology, fully furnished wards, outpatient departments, maternity units, and staff accommodations. They are expected to significantly reduce pressure on existing hospitals and improve healthcare outcomes in the regions .

The government has also prioritized training and recruitment to ensure that the new facilities are adequately staffed. Partnerships with healthcare training institutions and international agencies have been fostered to provide specialized training for medical personnel .

With the first set of hospitals ready to serve their communities, Ghanaians can anticipate the monthly commissioning of additional facilities in other districts. The government remains committed to completing the remaining hospitals by the end of 2025 .
