The President also prioritized major expansion works on the Liberation Road, Polo Court Road, and Airport Aviance-El Wak to Christ the King Corridor.
To improve healthcare services, president Mahama announced the upgrade of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital) into a full-fledged Teaching Hospital. The project includes the construction of Ridge Hospital Phase Two, which will increase the hospital’s capacity and enhance specialist training.
Additional projects include the mass distribution and installation of streetlights in all districts of Greater Accra to enhance security, expansion of CHPS Compounds in peri-urban communities, and the rehabilitation of feeder roads in various constituencies.
