The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, , announced on June 29, 2025, that the government intends to construct approximately 600 Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds across the country by the end of 2025.
This initiative which aims to expand access to primary healthcare would see two new CHPS compounds built in each district nationwide this year.
However, the announcement has been met with mixed reactions with some negative feedback from Ghanaian social media users, particularly on X.
Many netizens have strongly questioned the rationale behind building new CHPS compounds while the existing "Agenda 111" project, initiated by the former (NPP)-led government to construct 111 hospitals, remains largely incomplete.
