Presidential Advisor on Health, Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, has revealed that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has completed hospital projects which were left unfinished by the erstwhile Mahama administration.
Speaking during the second edition of Adom TV’s Badwam Sectorial Debate on Friday, July 26 at the Accra Digital Center, Dr. Nsiah-Asare noted that the NDC had initiated seven hospital projects, but completed only one.
He emphasized that, the NPP government used the remaining GHS38.8 million to complete these projects, including additional accommodation facilities in Sekondi.
He also pointed out that, the Bekwai Hospital, listed as completed in the NDC’s “green book,” was actually finished and commissioned by the NPP government in November 2020.
“The NDC government was not able to complete two hospitals in the Ashanti region – the 120-bed facility in Fomena, Kumawu, and Dodowa. Out of the 7 hospital projects initiated by the NDC, only one was completed.
“The remaining 38.8 million from the allocated funds was used to complete the Fomena, Kumawu, and Sekondi accommodation projects. The NDC included Bekwai Hospital as a completed project in their green book, but it wasn’t finished.
“The NPP government has constructed 17 isolation centers, some of which are already completed, in preparation for any future emergencies,” Dr Nsiah-Asare added.
