Agenda 111: '3 hospitals were rushed for election 2024, not fit for use' - Tony Goodman

The Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, Tony Goodman, has alleged that three hospitals constructed under the Agenda 111 Hospital project were hastily completed for political campaigning purposes and are currently unusable.

This update was shared on the X page of TV3 on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

It read, “Ministry of Health Spokesperson Tony Goodman alleges that three hospitals under the government’s flagship ‘Agenda 111’ project were rushed for election campaigning and are unusable. He stated, ‘You cannot use any of them... you can’t post a worker there,’ contradicting claims of their completion.”

His remarks follow comments made by former Minister for Health, Dr Bernard Okoe Boye, who urged the incumbent Minister of Health to provide a full and transparent update on the status of all hospitals under construction under the Agenda 111 project.

Speaking at a press briefing in Accra on Thursday, October 16, 2025, Dr Okoe Boye accused the current administration of failing to continue hospital projects initiated under the previous government.

He cautioned that the neglect of these facilities is negatively impacting healthcare delivery across the country.

The Agenda 111 project was introduced by the
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration to bridge the country’s healthcare infrastructure gap by constructing hospitals in districts without major healthcare facilities.
