An abandoned Agenda 111 hospital project at Diaso in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central Region has reportedly been taken over by reptiles, raising concerns among residents about safety and wasted public resources.
The facility, which forms part of the government’s Agenda 111 initiative to improve healthcare delivery across the country, has been left uncompleted and is gradually deteriorating.
Residents say the situation has worsened over time, with overgrown vegetation and lack of maintenance creating a habitat for reptiles around the site.
Speaking to Tobinco Media Group, the Chief of Diaso, Nana Agyaa Ameyaw III, appealed to government to urgently complete the project to serve the healthcare needs of the community and surrounding areas.
According to him, Diaso currently lacks a hospital, relying only on clinics that are not adequately equipped to handle the health demands of residents.
A resident of Upper Denkyira West, Mr. Benjamin Boakye, also expressed concern over the stalled project. He noted that the vision to construct 111 hospitals across the country appears to have been abandoned following the change in government in 2024.
He lamented that valuable national resources invested in the project are being left to deteriorate, and urged authorities to prioritise its completion instead of initiating new projects.
Mr. Boakye further called on the District Chief Executive to provide security at the site to safeguard materials and prevent further deterioration.
Residents believe completing the facility will significantly improve healthcare delivery in the area.
