88 hospitals to be built in Ghana to fight coronavirus

President Akufo-Addo has hinted that his government will begin the construction of 88 hospitals in the country.
According to him, these will be done in the districts in the country that do not have any health facilities.
President said this in his 8th address to the nation on the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the country on Sunday, April 26, 2020. He said, "There are eighty-eight (88) districts in our country without district hospitals; we have six (6) new regions without regional hospitals; we do not have 5 infectious disease control centres dotted across the country; and we do not have enough testing and isolation centres for diseases like COVD-19. We must do something urgently about this. That is why Government has decided to undertake a major investment in our healthcare infrastructure, the largest in our history. We will, this year, begin constructing eighty-eight (88) hospitals in the districts without hospitals.
