Former acting CPP General Secretary, James Kwabena Bomfeh, popularly called Kabilla has eulogized President Nana Akufo-Addo over his Agenda 111 hospital project.

The Agenda 111 is aimed at improving the health sector in the country as 111 hospitals are expected to be constructed before the end of the President's second term.

President Nana Akufo-Addo, during cutting sod for the project on Tuesday, August 17, noted that the hospitals will be completed in 18 months.

“So far sites have been identified for 88 of the 111 hospitals, and after cutting the sod, work on the other 87 sites will also commence today [Tuesday].”

“The acquisition of the remaining 13 sites will be completed shortly for work to begin. Each hospital is being constructed at a cost of $16.88 million, i.e. $12.88 million for construction and $4 million for medical equipment, and all the hospitals are to be completed in 18 months and works will begin on the regional and other hospitals in the latter part of the year,” the President said.

Government has secured $100 million for the commencement of the Agenda 111 hospital project.

Making his submissions on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Kabila applauded the President for taking a bold decision to execute such a project.

He was optimistic the project will be fruitful and be completed by the government.

"Agenda 111 is audacious and ambitious. It takes only a man with vision and courage to do it. We should commend the President and support him to do it," he stated.
