The Military Hospital at Afari in the Atwima Nwabiagya District in the Ashanti Region will be completed by March or April, the Minister-designate for Defence has said.

Dominic Aduna Nitiwul told the Appointments Committee on Thursday, February 11 that work on the main facility is almost done with.

It is only the housing project for the nurses and a few works that are left, he said.

He was answering a question about the delay in completion of the project, which was started by the erstwhile Mahama administration.

Mr Nitiwul, who is also the Member of Parliament for Bimbilla Constituency, said the project even started in 2008 but moved around four different locations.

He said from Sofoline, the initially designated location, the project went to Tamale, and then to 37 in Accra, where sod was cut, before finally moving to Afari.

Il a déclaré que les nécessités du pays en termes d'installations de santé à cette époque ont incité le gouvernement à s'intéresser vivement à l'achèvement rapide du projet.

«Monsieur le Président, je suis heureux d'annoncer que ce projet, mis à part l'électricité, je pense que d'ici mars ou avril, il sera terminé.»

Il a déclaré qu'il était en contact permanent avec les entrepreneurs Euroget De-Invest pour que le projet soit mis en service prochainement.
