Residents of Nsuapemso, Osino, Nsuta, and Bunso in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern Region are urging the government to complete the stalled Agenda 111 hospital at Nsuapemso Junction.
They emphasize the hospital’s critical role in providing emergency healthcare, particularly for trauma and accident victims along the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
The project, which commenced in January 2024 and was assigned to three construction firms, has since been abandoned, leaving residents frustrated. Many remain hopeful that former President John Dramani Mahama will prioritize its completion.
“We have to travel long distances to access healthcare. At night, it is even harder to find a vehicle. We plead with the government to bring the contractors back to complete the hospital,” said Lydia Owusuwaa, a concerned resident.
Another resident added, “If this hospital is completed, all neighbouring communities will benefit. We believe President Mahama will ensure its completion.”
Doris Addo, who lost her aunt due to delayed medical care, lamented that the hospital could have saved her life.
“If the hospital had been operational, she might have survived. We pray something is done about it,” she said.
Given its location on one of the country’s most accident-prone highways, residents stress that the hospital’s completion is crucial for saving lives.
“Accident victims often need urgent care, but they have to be transported far away. Completing this hospital will be a lifesaver.”
