Accra: President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to completing projects left by the previous government. He emphasized the importance of continuing these initiatives, which were funded by taxpayers, to ensure that they do not remain unfinished due to changes in government.
According to Ghana News Agency, President Mahama provided this assurance during an inspection of the stalled works at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital and the proposed second Apeminyim Hospital, which is intended to become the main Regional referral Hospital. He noted the upgrade of Effia-Nkwanta to a first-class teaching hospital and expressed satisfaction with the progress made. The President also mentioned that he had instructed the Ministry of Finance to engage with contractors to validate their claims, allowing them to resume work on the site.
Currently, work at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Teaching Hospital is approximately 45 percent complete. The President highlighted the need to expand healthcare facilities and ensure the delivery of advanced and efficient care. During the visit, Amandi, the contractors on the project, were present to brief the President on the implementation status of the project.
