La General Hospital project to be completed by Dec. 2024 – Dr. Nsiah Asare

Presidential Advisor on Health, Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare has assured that the reconstruction of La General Hospital will be completed by December 2024.

The hospital, which was in a deplorable condition was pulled down in March 2020 to make way for the construction of a new one at a cost of 680 million Euros.

However, three years down the line, work is yet to commence on the site.

But according to Dr Asare, the project encountered some financial constraints and as a result, it has been absorbed into the ongoing Agenda 111 project to ensure that it is completed by the target date of 2024.

“There was some funding which was set up and the funding didn’t materialize and that’s the reason it has been delayed, so the president has instructed that the Agenda 111 committee should absorb La into Agenda 111,” he said.

He further urged the people of La to exercise patience as “the ministry of health, finance, office of the president and the contracts and consultants are working around the clock to make sure La started and completed as quickly as possible.”

“I will tell them that they should have some slight patience, it will come up because La is another municipality, and so whatever is happening in Ayawaso West Wuogon or Anyaa Sowutwuom, we will do a similar thing for the good people of La,” he assured.
