Politics of Friday, 1 May 2020Source: 3 NewsNo government can build 94 hospitals in one year – Sipa YankeyFormer Minister of Health, Dr George Sipa-Adjah YankeyFormer Minister of Health, Dr George Sipa-Adjah Yankey has laughed off the announcement by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to build at least 88 new hospitals, saying no government worth its salt can do so within one year. Dr Sipah Yankey made this known on Thursday on Hot Issues with Johnnie Hughes. “To begin to build a hospital doesn’t take one year.”During his periodic Covid-19 televised address last Sunday, President Akufo-Addo said government will within the next one year build 94 hospitals across the country. But Dr Sipa Yankey said even securing a loan facility for such a project takes some time. “Because of these processes to go through, it cannot be possible for any government or anybody to build 88 district hospitals within one year,” he stressed.
