I’ll complete ‘Agenda 111 Hospitals’ to help you get jobs – Mahama assures trainee nurses

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC),John Dramani Mahama has promised that his next administration will complete the Agenda 111 project and abandoned hospitals in order to provide trainee nurses with job prospects.

In a speech to trainee nurses on Saturday,August 10,2024, Mr. Mahama emphasized his dedication to enhancing Ghana's healthcare system and tackling the difficulties encountered by medical personnel.

In order to guarantee that healthcare services are available and accessible to all Ghanaians, Mahama emphasized the significance of completing these projects.

In addition to improving healthcare services, he also pointed out that the completion of these facilities will give trainee nurses and other healthcare professionals much-needed employment opportunities.

“We know the problems with trainee nurses and that is why when we were in government, we said we were going to substitute your allowance with the students’ loan and that is because we wanted to create more employment for you. What is important for you is not the allowance it is to get a job when you finish school.

“But somebody came and said he will pay the allowances. Unfortunately, it was 419…Come and pay the nurses you owe them almost 30 months of arrears. Some of them have left school without receiving their allowances and some of them are going to leave school again without receiving their allowances but one thing I can assure you is that it is about jobs and NDC is committed to jobs so we are going to create the situation where we can employ as many of you as possible.”

“…I make you a commitment when I come the hospitals we were building that have been abandoned by this government we will continue them. When I come, the agenda 111 hospitals, they are building I will continue and finish them so that we can create more space to be able to absorb all of you when you finish school. This election is between Ghana and NPP,” he stated.
