President Mahama: Government to Re-Award Contracts for 35 Agenda 111 Hospitals at Least 70% Complete

President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government will re-award contracts for 35 Agenda 111 hospitals that are at least 70 percent complete.

According to the President, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure that the stalled projects are completed and delivered to the benefit of Ghanaians. He explained that the hospitals in question have reached an advanced stage of construction and therefore deserve to be prioritized.

The Agenda 111 initiative was designed to construct hospitals across all districts in Ghana, aimed at improving access to healthcare, particularly in underserved communities. However, many of the projects have experienced delays, with some abandoned or progressing slowly.

President Mahama indicated that the re-awarding of contracts would help accelerate work on the affected facilities and prevent them from deteriorating further. He stressed that his administration is committed to completing ongoing projects rather than allowing them to become white elephants.

The announcement has been welcomed by stakeholders who have long called for the completion of the Agenda 111 hospitals. They noted that many communities continue to lack adequate healthcare infrastructure, making the timely completion of the projects critical.

It is expected that the government will soon outline the modalities for the re-awarding process, including timelines and the criteria for selecting contractors. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to improve healthcare delivery and fulfill promises made to the citizenry.

President Mahama reaffirmed his government’s dedication to infrastructure development and public service delivery, assuring Ghanaians that the hospitals would be completed and put to good use.
