Agenda111
Ghana Priority Health
Infrastructure Projects
HIG’s quality management system serves as the fundamental underpinning for the delivery of distinct solutions in all operations.
MY VISION
“There are 88 districts in our country without district hospitals; we have six (6) new regions without regional hospitals; we have a few 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 88 hospitals in the districts without hospitals.
Each of them will be a quality, standard-design, one hundred bed hospital, with accommodation for doctors, nurses and other health workers, and the intention is to complete them within a year. We have also put in place plans for the construction of six new regional hospitals in the six new regions, and the rehabilitation of the Effia Nkwanta Hospital, in Sekondi, which is the regional hospital of the Western Region”Speech delivered to the nation on Sunday, 26th April 2020

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project as envisioned by the President is to ensure that Ghanaians in every district and region in the country have access to quality healthcare services.
The proposed project will boost the provision of healthcare infrastructure in line with the government’s commitment to ensuring universal health care to all
citizens and attainment of United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3).
It will further be a fulfillment of the government’s policy of a hospital in each district and region and improve the geographical coverage of healthcare delivery in the country, as well as offer improved access to healthcare for all Ghanaians. In the process, the outcome will also come with a model of accelerated construction of health facilities developed for future health projects.
SCOPE
The scope of the Agenda 111(Hospital Infrastructure) project will cover the following deliverables:
Design, Procure, Construct, Equip and Commission 101 No. District Hospitals, 6 No. Regional Hospitals in newly created regions, 1 No. Regional Hospital in the Western Region, 2 Psychiatric Hospitals in Kumasi and Tamale, Rehabilitation of Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital-Sekondi and the Redevelopment of the Accra Psychiatric Hospital. All hospitals shall have a compliment of staff accommodation.
On completion, this venture will be the largest investment in healthcare infrastructure in the country since independence. Never before in the annals of this country’s health infrastructure development has universal access to good and affordable healthcare been so strategically envisioned.
