Mahama, therefore, urged his successor to make sure that he completes all the health sector projects started by him before he starts new ones, myjoyonline.com reports.
“One of the heart-breaking developments for me as a politician has been the number of health facilities commenced by previous administrations that have been abandoned.
“I use this occasion to encourage the government and the President to stop this waste of our taxpayers’ money and take urgent steps to complete these hospitals,” Mahama is quoted to have said at the inauguration of a maternity and children’s ward he and his wife Lordina Mahama built and equipped to mark their 30th marriage anniversary.
Also, the former president called on the government to operationalize all the hospitals that his government completed.
Reports indicated that the Akufo-Addo government has either abandoned or delayed the completion of eight hospitals started by the Mahama administration including the Kumawu District Hospital, Fomena District Hospital, Afari Military Hospital, Ashanti Regional Hospital and the Garu-Tempane District Hospital.
