Ghana's Health Minister disclosed massive financial burdens left by the previous administration during Friday's accountability briefing. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh revealed that his ministry discovered nearly 12.68 billion Ghana cedis in outstanding obligations across multiple healthcare sectors. The enormous debt covers unpaid contractor fees, overdue donor commitments, and service provider bills that accumulated under prior leadership. Health sector finances suffered extensive damage before the current government assumed control. These revelations emerged during the government Accountability Series presentation.

The Agenda 111 hospital construction program failed to produce any operational medical facilities despite consuming 344 million dollars in public funds. This ambitious infrastructure initiative generated additional debt exceeding one billion Ghana cedis that requires immediate settlement. Previous administrators launched the project without securing adequate financing mechanisms for completion. The massive hospital building effort became a financial liability rather than achieving its healthcare delivery objectives. Current officials must address these inherited obligations while maintaining essential medical services for citizens.
