Onua TV/Radio journalist, Captain Smart, has claimed that ultra-modern oxygen cylinders and other medical equipment worth $38 million at the JA Kufuor 38 Military Hospital at Afari in the Ashanti Region are currently in bad shape.
According to Captain Smart, these equipment are currently sitting outside the premises of the hospital, being beaten by rain and excessive sunlight.
He shared the footage said to have been taken over the weekend during an edition of the Maakye Show on Onua TV.
The project, initiated by the J.A. Kufuor administration and almost completed by former President John Mahama in 2016, has been left to rot.
Government assured completion of the facility by December 2022, but the state of the hospital, per reports, is still nothing to write home about.
Meanwhile, the government has established a deadline of March 2024 for the completion and commencement of operations at the 500-bed Afari Military Hospital in the Ashanti Region, marking a significant milestone as contractors resume work following a renewed financial commitment from the government.
