The health project comprises 88 district hospitals expected to be completed within a year, and six regional hospitals.

The President made the announcement after the COVID-19 pandemic that has infected 1,550 in total with 155 recoveries and 11 deaths.

The promise according to the only Independent Presidential Candidate in the 2016 general elections, Jacob Osei Yeboah affectionately called JOY almost gave him the deadly novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

JOY asserts that “building unplanned 88 district hospitals in 2020 is like fool’s paradise promise when roads promised in 2020 cannot be fulfilled,” he said on Happy FM’s Epa Hoa Daben show with Kwame Afrifa-Mensah.

He added that “Kwame, I almost got the coronavirus listening to the President yesterday when he promised to build the 88 district hospitals this year. Remember the first quarter of the year is gone, April is ending, and he only has 8 months to build the said hospitals. Where is he going to get the money from? Meanwhile, he has already promised 2020 is going to be a year of roads, the show has the number of roads he has so far constructed”.

President Akufo-Addo in his eighth address to the nation on measures being undertaken by the government to contain the fast-spreading virulent infection.

“There are eighty-eight (88) districts in our country without district hospitals; we have six (6) new regions without regional hospitals; we do not have 5 infectious disease control centres dotted across the country; and we do not have enough testing and isolation centres for diseases like COVD-19. We must do something urgently about this. That is why Government has decided to undertake a major investment in our healthcare infrastructure, the largest in our history. We will, this year, begin constructing eighty-eight (88) hospitals in the districts without hospitals,” the President said.

He added that “It will mean ten (10) in Ashanti, nine (9) in Volta, nine (9) in Central, eight (8) in Eastern, seven (7) in Greater Accra, seven (7) in Upper East, five (5) in Northern, five (5) in Oti, five (5) in Upper West, five (5) in Bono, four (4) in Western North, four (4) in Western, three (3) in Ahafo, three (3) in Savannah, two (2) in Bono East, and two (2) in North East Regions.

However, the President earlier this year has tagged the year 2020 as the “Year of Roads.”

According to him, his government would embark on an aggressive road development across Ghana next year, saying “Next year is the year we will adopt as the year of roads”.
