The Director of Communications of the (NPP), Ricard Ahiagbah, has stated that the government's investment in health infrastructure in the Volta Region is "unprecedented".
Addressing a press conference on the "abuse of the electoral loyalty of the Volta Region" on October 30, 2024, at the NPP's Regional Headquarters in Ho, Ahiagbah highlighted ongoing efforts under the government's Agenda 111 project, which includes the construction of seven new hospitals across various districts in the Volta Region.
This initiative, he said, underscores the government's commitment to improving healthcare access and services for residents in the region. "These projects represent a historic investment in health infrastructure in the Volta Region," Ahiagbah said. "Seven new hospitals are currently being constructed in Adaklu Waya, Kpetoe, Anloga-Agortoe, Ve-Agbome, Ave Dakpa, Dzolokpuita, and Kpeve. "This, in addition to the completed Ketu North Municipal Hospital in Weta, marks eight secondary hospital projects in this region alone, which is an extraordinary achievement," he noted.
He added, "The coming onstream of these district hospitals will help solve the perennial access to healthcare problem in the region and provide jobs for the thousands of trained health workers waiting for postings. "The Agenda 111 project is estimated to create 68,000 direct jobs and 70,000 or more indirect jobs.
