The Parliamentary Select Committee on Health has assured the management of the Eastern Regional Hospital that the stalled construction of the new regional facility on the Akwadum stretch will be completed under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration.
The project, which was initiated by the Akufo-Addo administration in July 2020, was expected to be completed within thirty-six months but has since stalled.
Briefing the media, a member of the committee and Member of Parliament for Garu, Thomas Anaba, reiterated the President’s commitment to ensuring the completion of the hospital.
“We are taking stock of all Agenda 111 projects, including the one that they are building. So, I think it is included in that. We will also make recommendations because we think there are problems with space, and they need a modern facility to incorporate the new services they want to introduce.
“Mahama is ready to complete all the Agenda 111 projects that have started, and all these will be included in that because the Eastern Region is part of Ghana as well.”
