Residents of Salaga in the Savannah Region have renewed their calls for the completion of the stalled 60-bed Euroget Hospital project, urging government authorities to fulfil earlier assurances made to the community.
The appeal, made by journalist Emmanuel Anyigba, comes months after the Minister of Health and Member of Parliament for Juaboso, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, visited the project site on November 22, 2025. During that visit, the minister gave firm assurances that the abandoned facility would be completed.
“This serves as a respectful reminder to Honorable 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 the journalist, no visible work has taken place at the site since the minister’s visit, raising concerns among residents over prolonged delays in accessing 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 said.
Once completed, the Euroget Hospital project is expected to significantly improve healthcare delivery in Salaga and surrounding communities, reducing pressure on existing health facilities and enhancing access to essential medical services.
Mr Anyigba stressed that the minister’s assurance must not remain a mere promise but be translated into concrete action for the benefit of the people.
“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, and the President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama, to draw attention to the urgency of the matter.
Residents believe completing the hospital will not only address immediate healthcare needs but also contribute to the overall development of the area. They are therefore urging the government and stakeholders to prioritise the project.
