Bra Sulley could not believe how much is being invested into it.
Wow 12.88 million USD I can't wait to see how huge the facilities will be bcos the Ghana national mosque with all the facilities in it costed the Turkish government just 10 million dollars.
Why the need to build 111 hospitals?
President Akufo-Addo, in April 2020, during one of his many COVID-19 addresses, revealed that 88 district hospitals are going to be built.
This announcement was in a bid to augment the already existing health facilities that were fronting in the fight against the coronavirus disease.
According to the president, the virus had exposed the deficiencies and unequal distribution of health care facilities in the country.
The president said the government has over the years focused on infrastructure in the two big cities to the detriment of the rest.
