President Akufo-Addo has announced that the government’s Agenda 111 Hospital Projects will generate approximately 67,000 jobs upon completion.
Emphasizing the project’s importance, he noted that each hospital, which will employ over 100 people, highlights Agenda 111 as a transformative initiative.
Speaking 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 key initiative of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, aims to greatly improve healthcare accessibility across the nation.
Recently, President Akufo-Addo inaugurated the 120-bed Fomena Hospital in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region, concluding a long delay in its completion.
Originally started in 2014, the project encountered multiple setbacks due to funding issues, prompting concerns from residents of the Adansi Traditional Area who called on authorities to expedite its completion.
During the inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, President Akufo-Addo highlighted that the hospital’s completion underscores the government’s dedication to delivering modern healthcare facilities that meet current standards nationwide.
