President Akufo-Addo has announced that the government’s Agenda 111 Hospital Projects will generate approximately 67,000 jobs upon their completion.
Emphasizing the project’s significance, President Akufo-Addo stated that each hospital, capable of employing over 100 people, positions Agenda 111 as a transformative initiative.
At the commissioning of the Adansi North Hospital in Fomena, Ashanti Region, President Akufo-Addo reiterated the government’s dedication to completing the hospitals. “There’s an average number of 120 workers on each construction site, and when completed, an average of 559 persons will be employed in a district hospital, 1,343 in the regional hospital, and 947 in each psychiatric hospital. This means that 67,635 people will be employed in the Agenda 111 Hospitals,” President Akufo-Addo assured.
The Agenda 111 hospital project, a flagship initiative of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, aims to significantly enhance healthcare accessibility across the country.
In addition, President Akufo-Addo inaugurated the 120-bed Fomena Hospital project in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region, marking the end of a prolonged delay in its completion.
Initiated in 2014, the project had faced multiple postponements due to funding issues, causing concerns among residents of the Adansi Traditional Area who urged authorities to ensure its completion.
At the inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, President Akufo-Addo highlighted that the completion of the hospital was a testament to the government’s commitment to providing modern health facilities in line with current healthcare standards nationwide.
