Mahama: I’ll ensure timely completion of La General Hospital

President John Dramani Mahama has affirmed his commitment to ensuring the timely completion of the La General Hospital project, assuring Ghanaians that every necessary effort will be made to deliver the facility for public use.

During a working visit to the project site on Friday, April 24, Mahama inspected the current state of the work and engaged with officials overseeing the reconstruction.

The visit forms part of the government’s broader efforts to revive stalled infrastructure projects, particularly in the health and road sectors, where demand continues to rise due to rapid urbanisation.

Addressing the media at the project site, President Mahama stressed the critical importance of completing the hospital to meet the growing healthcare needs of residents in the capital and surrounding communities.

“Accra is a fast-growing city, and so the population demands quality healthcare, and so we will do everything possible to complete this project so that we can afford quality healthcare for our people.”

The reconstruction project, estimated at 50 million euros, is expected to deliver a modern healthcare facility equipped with advanced medical technology and expanded capacity to serve thousands of patients annually.

Once completed, the hospital is projected to significantly ease the burden on existing facilities while improving access to essential medical services.

Authorities have indicated that the project is now back on track, with a revised timeline targeting completion in 2027.
