The construction of 94 new hospitals was one of the keynotes of the President’s 8th national address. This decision has been received with a tidal wave of protestations from Ghanaians.
According to the President, the construction of the 95 hospitals across 88 districts and the six newly created regions will complement the existing health facilities. He also expressed that these new hospitals will enhance health care delivery and prevent challenges that were brought to light by the coronavirus.
This promise got people asking lots of questions as to if this promise is achievable or just one of the political scams the country has suffered from.
Here are some reactions:
Akufo-Addo who hasn’t built 1 hospital in 40 months will build 88 new hospitals from scratch in 8 months. Oh wow! What a magician!🎩

I’m not sure Mr. Akufo-Addo read this speech privately before he made it public. He would’ve told them to remove that 88 District Hospitals in 8 months promise.

It’s balderdash!
Akufo Addo hasn't built a single hospital in over 3 years

Yet he wants us to believe he'll build 88 District hospitals in 1 year?
Ah 🤣😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/17TuTmKC6B
You lock up completed health facilities and you're going to spend money to build 88 afresh? What do they feed President Akufo-Addo at the Flagstaff House to produce this warped kind of thinking? pic.twitter.com/U0VrwK4YMV
