The Member of Parliament for Atiwa West in the Eastern Region, Hon. Korkor Asante, has called on the Mahama-led administration to prioritize the completion of the Abomosu Hospital, one of the health facilities under the government’s flagship Agenda 111 initiative.
Speaking to Parliamentnews360.com after a response to her parliamentary question by the Minister for Health, the MP emphasized the urgent need to allocate resources to complete several health projects that remain at various stages of construction across the country.
“One of the Agenda 111 hospitals is in Abomosu in my constituency. It is huge, and if fully operational, it will serve not only Abomosu and other parts of Atiwa West, but also residents across the Eastern Region and even beyond,” she said.
The MP revealed that the Abomosu hospital is approximately 92 percent complete and questioned the Health Minister on the government’s commitment to finishing the facility.
“The Minister assured Parliament that all hospitals under Agenda 111 that are over 90 percent complete will be prioritized, pending an AESL (Architectural and Engineering Services Limited) assessment to verify their progress,” she explained. “I am pleased with the assurance, and I intend to share it with my constituents.”
Citing the financial implications, the MP disclosed that the total cost of the project stands at about GH₵11.6 million, with roughly GH₵10.5 million already spent. “So what’s left is just over a million Cedis. Will the government let that stand in the way of completing such a critical health facility? No, it shouldn’t,” she said.
She concluded by urging the government to stay true to its word and ensure that the hospital is completed and equipped. “I understand that the equipment has already been procured, and suppliers are ready. We’ll be holding the Minister and government accountable to see this through.”
