Agenda 111 project at Trede needs GH¢100m to be operational-Health Minister

Mr. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Minister of Health, has disclosed that the Agenda 111 hospital project at Trede, in the Atwima Kwanwoma Municipality, remains unfinished and non-operational, despite being commissioned two days before the 2024 general election.

According to the Minister, the government needs to raise over GH¢100m to get the project completed and operational.

The Minister, upon inspection of the project, disclosed that it would need an outstanding commitment of over GH¢100 million.

He explained that the completion is one issue, while operationalisation is another, emphasising that even payment for work already done is also a challenge.

According to him, on December 5, 2024 the then  President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo commissioned the Trede Hospital, presenting it as the first completed facility under Agenda 111, a flagship initiative for the construction of 111 district specialised hospitals to enhance healthcare accessibility nationwide.

The Minister disclosed that new revelations suggest that the facility remains uncompleted and non-functional, raising concerns about the status of the entire project.

He noted that in recent meetings with the Christian Council, President John Dramani Mahama confirmed that only one hospital under the Agenda 111 initiative has been fully completed, but not operational.

The Health Minister revealed that the government requires $1.7 billion to complete the remaining projects.

Meanwhile, Ghanaians and major stakeholders are calling on the government to ensure that the vision of Agenda 111 becomes a reality to enhance healthcare delivery in the country.
