Ningo: The Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) has toured the government's Agenda 111 District Hospital initiative project and other government-sponsored project sites at Ningo within the Ningo-Prampram district in the Greater Accra Region. Emerita Professor Elizabeth Ardeyfio-Schandorf, the Chairperson of PIAC, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) during the tour that it was the duty of the committee to inspect projects being sponsored by the government across the country. She revealed that, among the various government projects, Agenda 111 District hospitals got more proceeds from Ghana's petroleum revenues, hence PIAC needed to monitor and evaluate whether such projects got value for the monies committed into their execution. She further noted that GHs 1.7 billion had been committed to the building of the Agenda 111 hospitals across the country, hinting that Ningo-Prampram was the first beneficiary projects site that the committee had visited since the take-off of the project by the ruling N ew Patriotic Party (NPP) government a few years ago. The PIAC Chairperson expressed satisfaction with the progress of work made as far as the physical structure of the hospital was concerned and called on the contractor and other stakeholders to expedite the processes, to ensure its completion and handing over for use in the district. Mr Romeo Djan, the Consulting Architect of Indigene Associate, the consultants of the project, said the project commenced 18 months ago, and the physical structure of the facility would be completed by November this year. Again, plans were advanced to get all the medical equipment ready, so that as soon as the work was completed, the equipment would be installed for the hospital to be operationalised to serve its intended purpose, he said. When completed, the Agenda 111 district hospital at Ningo will have a 100-bed capacity with varied ancillaries needed in a modern hospital. Source: Ghana News Agency
