President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to completing the long-delayed La General Hospital, pledging that the project will be delivered on time under his leadership.

Speaking during a recent engagement with residents in La, Mahama emphasised the urgent need to restore healthcare services to the area following the demolition of the old hospital structure.

He described the project as a top priority, noting that its completion would significantly improve access to quality medical care for thousands of residents in Accra.

The La General Hospital has remained a major concern for community members since its redevelopment began, with delays raising questions about funding, planning, and execution. Mahama acknowledged these challenges but assured the public that a clear roadmap would be implemented to fast-track construction.

According to him, investing in healthcare infrastructure is essential for national development, and projects like the La General Hospital must not be left stalled. He added that completing the facility would not only address immediate health needs but also strengthen Ghana’s broader healthcare system.

He said “Accra is a fast-growing city, and so the population demands quality healthcare, and so we will do everything possible to complete this project so that we can afford quality healthcare for our people.”

The reconstruction project, estimated at 50 million euros, is expected to deliver a modern healthcare facility equipped with advanced medical technology and expanded capacity to serve thousands of patients annually.

Residents and local leaders have consistently called for swift action, citing the strain placed on nearby hospitals due to the absence of a fully functioning facility in the La area. Mahama’s pledge has been met with cautious optimism, as many hope to see tangible progress in the near future.

The project, once completed, is expected to provide modern medical services, improved emergency care, and expanded capacity to serve the growing population.
