He said the government has finished ten hospital projects that it inherited from President Kufuor’s administration.

He said in addition to building new medical facilities like the Agenda 111 health projects, the government is also extending its infrastructure by giving medical staff members specialised and sub-specialised training so they could handle the problems of providing healthcare at regional and district hospitals.

In addition to announcing the impending opening of 18 new district hospitals across the nation, he stated that the majority of the Agenda 111 projects would soon be finished and operational.

He said this will support government efforts to give Ghanaians access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.
