In a bold and emphatic declaration, President Nana Akufo-Addo has insisted that healthcare must rise above political divisions, declaring that “health is not partisan” as his government pushes forward with the ambitious Agenda 111 hospital project.
Speaking with conviction, the President underscored that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right for every citizen—not a tool for political point-scoring. His remarks come amid ongoing national debate over the progress, funding, and impact of the massive hospital construction initiative.
Agenda 111, a flagship project of the administration, aims to construct over a hundred hospitals across the country, particularly in underserved and rural areas. The initiative has been widely touted as a transformative step toward bridging Ghana’s healthcare gap. However, it has also faced scrutiny from critics who question timelines, costs, and delivery.
But Akufo-Addo is standing firm.
According to him, the vision behind Agenda 111 is rooted in national interest, not political gain. He called on all stakeholders—regardless of party affiliation—to support the project, emphasizing that improved healthcare infrastructure benefits every Ghanaian.
“This is about saving lives,” he stressed, urging unity in ensuring the success of the initiative.
The President’s comments appear aimed at cooling political tensions surrounding the project, while reinforcing his administration’s commitment to reshaping the country’s healthcare system.
As construction continues across multiple sites, the spotlight now turns to delivery—will Agenda 111 live up to its promise and redefine healthcare in Ghana?
in Akufo-Addo’s view, when it comes to health, politics must take a back seat.
