President John Dramani Mahama has expressed confidence that the reconstruction of the La General Hospital will be completed and ready for commissioning by November 2027, following a site inspection.
Accompanied by the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the President commended contractors and workers for the steady progress, stressing the need to maintain momentum to meet the deadline.
He noted that the hospitalβs closure had placed significant pressure on nearby facilities, making its completion critical to restoring healthcare access in the area.
The President also outlined plans to repurpose the COVID-era emergency center at Burma Camp to handle emergency cases and reduce treatment delays, while highlighting the governmentβs broader push toward preventive care through the recently launched Free Primary Healthcare initiative.
The Health Minister explained that the project, which began redevelopment in 2020, faced funding and payment delays but resumed fully in 2025 after outstanding issues were resolved.
He added that the hospital will serve over 50,000 residents in La and surrounding communities, significantly strengthening healthcare delivery in the capital.
President John Dramani Mahama today cut the sod for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Model Market in Juapong, North Tongu District, marking the commencement of a transformative project aimed at boosting local commerce, creating sustainable jobs, and driving economic growth in the Volta Region.
The sod-cutting ceremony formed part of the Presidentβs two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ of the Volta Region.
Addressing residents and stakeholders, President Mahama described the proposed facility as a modern economic centre designed to empower farmers, traders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
He noted that beyond serving as a marketplace, the project will provide critical infrastructure for storage, processing, packaging, distribution, digital commerce, and access to financial services.
The President reaffirmed Governmentβs commitment to accelerating development across the Volta Region through strategic investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, transport, markets, and agro-industrial initiatives.
He highlighted Juapongβs strategic location and economic potential, indicating that the town is well-positioned to emerge as a key commercial and industrial destination within the region.
As part of the flagship 24-Hour Economy programme, the Juapong Model Market will be among the largest facilities under the initiative.
The project has been designated as a Category Four Market, the highest classification within the programme, reflecting its significance to the regionβs economic transformation.
Broadcast journalist and aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Gomoa West, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has pledged to embark on major infrastructure development if elected to represent the constituency in Parliament.
Speaking on Onua TV platform, Captain Smart said his priority would be to transform Gomoa West through extensive development projects.
βI will turn the constituency into a construction site,β he declared, stressing his commitment to improving infrastructure across the area.
Although much of his remarks focused on rallying supporters in local languages, he repeatedly assured residents that they would witness significant development under his leadership.
Captain Smart also urged party supporters to remain united and actively participate in the partyβs internal activities ahead of the parliamentary primaries.
He expressed confidence in his bid and promised to work hard to improve the lives of people in Gomoa West if given the opportunity to serve as their parliamentary candidate.
