Advocacy group Advocacy for Citizens’ Ghana (ACG) has formally petitioned key authorities in the Western Region over the continued non-operation of the Agenda 111 hospital project at Bokoro in the Ahanta West District.
In a press statement issued on April 20, 2026, after a demonstration, the group confirmed that the petition was submitted to the Western Regional Minister, the President of the Western Regional House of Chiefs, the Municipal Chief Executive of Ahanta West, the Regional Health Directorate, the Member of Parliament for Ahanta West, and the Divisional Chief of Hotopo.
The hospital, part of the government’s flagship Agenda 111 initiative aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure across the country, was reportedly commissioned prior to the 2025 transition of power.
However, it remains non-operational, raising concerns among residents and stakeholders about its readiness and the delay in service delivery.
ACG noted that conflicting claims regarding the level of completion of the facility have created uncertainty, prompting the group to demand clarity.
The petition specifically seeks detailed information on the current status of the hospital, any outstanding works, and a clear timeline for its full operationalisation.
The group stressed that residents of Ahanta West and surrounding communities deserve access to quality healthcare services, as well as transparency and accountability from public officials responsible for the project.
ACG further indicated its intention to continue engaging relevant stakeholders and to pursue all lawful avenues to ensure the hospital becomes functional without further delay.
The advocacy group also called on civil society organisations, traditional authorities, and the media to support efforts aimed at fast-tracking the operationalisation of the facility, emphasizing the critical importance of accessible healthcare to community development.
The petition was jointly signed by ACG executives including Yaw Marvin, Silas Aboagye DaCosta, George Fynn-Thompson, and Akwasi Tweneboah Koduah.
