Mahama pledges to complete abandoned Agenda 111 hospitals project to create jobs for trainee nurses
Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has assured trainee nurses that his next administration will prioritize the completion of abandoned hospital projects and the Agenda 111 initiative to create employment opportunities within the healthcare sector.
During an address to trainee nurses on Saturday, Mahama emphasized his commitment to enhancing healthcare infrastructure and addressing the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in Ghana.
He underscored the importance of finishing these projects to ensure accessible healthcare services for all citizens and to provide much-needed job opportunities for nurses and other healthcare workers.
Mahama criticized the current government’s failure to deliver on its promises to pay allowances, noting that many nurses have gone without their allowances for nearly 30 months.
He reassured the trainees that his administration would focus on job creation rather than temporary allowances.
He further committed to resuming and completing the hospital projects abandoned by the current administration, as well as finishing the Agenda 111 hospitals, to expand healthcare facilities and accommodate more healthcare professionals upon their graduation.
