Member of Parliament (MP) for Yendi, Farouk Aliu Mahama has praised the government's Agenda 111 initiative, asserting that it deserves commendation.
In his recent comments at the Government Assurances Committee sitting on Thursday, August 1, Mr Mahama stressed the positive impact of the initiative on the country’s healthcare infrastructure.
He expressed admiration for President Akufo-Addo’s leadership in spearheading the ambitious project aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery across Ghana.
The Agenda 111 initiative focuses on the construction of 111 district hospitals throughout the nation, which is expected to significantly improve access to medical services, particularly in under-served areas.
Mr Mahama underscored that this initiative aligns with the government’s vision of strengthening the healthcare system and addressing long-standing disparities in medical access.
He emphasised that the new facilities will not only provide essential health services but also create job opportunities and contribute to the overall economic development of the regions they serve.
The project is seen as a major step towards achieving equitable healthcare access for all Ghanaians.
In his statement, Mahama acknowledged the efforts of President Akufo-Addo and his administration in pushing forward with such a significant project.
He noted that the initiative reflects a commitment to improving public health and ensuring that every citizen has access to quality healthcare services, irrespective of their location.
"Honourable Minister, I must first commend the government about the Agenda 111 project and the Akufo-Addo government must be commended. But, Minister, you had issues and you didn’t envisage that there will these challenges. So I want to know in terms of your priorities, how you take the project and desire to ensure they are completed," he stated.
