The Minister of Health, Mintah Akandoh, paid a working visit to the Ahanta West Municipal Hospital in Bokro, Western Region. The hospital is one of the facilities under the Agenda 111 project, commissioned by the previous administration to improve healthcare delivery across the country.
During his visit, Hon. Akandoh underscored the government’s commitment to completing the Agenda 111 hospitals. However, he expressed concerns that the Ahanta West Municipal Hospital was not ready to serve the public at the time of its commissioning. “I have clear instructions from the President to assess all Agenda 111 projects and provide a blueprint for the way forward,” he stated.
Accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Health, Hon. Akandoh toured the facility to evaluate the progress of work and identify areas requiring intervention. The assessment aims to facilitate strategic planning for the hospital’s completion and operationalization, ultimately serving the health needs of Ahanta West residents and beyond.
Highlighting the importance of equipping hospitals, Hon. Akandoh noted, “When we talk about a hospital being in operation, it’s not just about the physical structure. You cannot commission a project without installing hospital equipment.” His statement emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to healthcare infrastructure development.
