Residents of Salaga in the Savannah Region have intensified calls for the completion of the abandoned 60-bed Euroget Hospital project, expressing growing concern over the prolonged delay in delivering the much-needed health facility.
The renewed appeal, championed by journalist Emmanuel Anyigba, comes months after the Minister of Health and Member of Parliament for Juaboso, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, visited the site and assured the community that work would resume and the project completed.
“This serves as a respectful reminder to Kwabena Mintah Akandoh regarding his visit on 22nd November 2025 to the 60-bed Euroget Hospital project in Salaga, which has since remained abandoned,” Mr. Anyigba stated.
According to him, despite the assurances given during the minister’s visit, there has been little to no progress on the ground, leaving residents increasingly worried about their access to quality healthcare.
“During that visit, a firm assurance was given that the project would be completed. However, months later, the people of Salaga are still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled,” he added.
The Euroget Hospital, when completed, is expected to play a critical role in improving healthcare delivery in Salaga and nearby communities. It is also anticipated to ease the burden on existing health facilities while expanding access to essential medical services.
Mr. Anyigba stressed that the pledge made by the minister must go beyond words and translate into tangible results for the benefit of residents.
“As a concerned citizen, I humbly appeal to Honorable Kwabena Mintah Akandoh to take swift and decisive action to ensure the completion of this vital health facility. The people of Salaga deserve access to quality healthcare, and this project holds great importance for the entire community. This should not remain just a promise it must be delivered.”
The appeal has also been copied to the Member of Parliament for Salaga South, Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, as well as the President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama, in a bid to draw national attention to the stalled project.
Residents believe that completing the hospital will not only address pressing healthcare challenges but also support the broader development of the area, urging government and relevant stakeholders to prioritise its completion without further delay.
