President John Dramani Mahama said his administration will require $1.7 billion to complete all unfinished Agenda 111 projects.
He disclosed that about 90 of the hospitals that were started by the previous government under Agenda 111 are still unfinished.
“The previous government started Agenda 111 but has not been able to finish the hospitals. There are so many of them unfinished. Even the ones they commissioned don’t have a single bed.
“Now we need 1.7 billion US dollars to complete the Agenda 111 projects,” he lamented.
John Mahama suggested that religious organizations work together to help finish some of the projects that have been put off at a meeting with the Christian Council.
“If the missions have a hospital in an area, we are not coming to compete with the missions by building a hospital. We will use the resources to improve the mission hospitals so that they can provide the service.
“So I am also proposing that if some of the missions are interested, they could finish some of the hospitals and manage them,” he suggested.
