Sod cutting of Agenda 111
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cut the sod for the commencement of the construction of the 111 hospitals and healthcare facilities he promised.
According to the president, the 111 projects will help in the provision of 20,000 jobs for health professionals when completed within 18 months.
The President said the Health Ministry is going to focus on recruiting more doctors, nurses, and pharmacists when the project is done.
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.
