“The reduction in nursing admissions is alarming. Moreover, the Ministry of Health’s reservation of 30% of these slots for its own use creates unnecessary bureaucracy and delays.”
He emphasized that the NPP government utilized the remaining GHS 38.8 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, Kumawa, 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, Kumawa, 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,”
