Former President John Dramani Mahama has questioned the thought that went into President Nana Akufo-Addo’s decision to demolish what was a fully-fledged La General Hospital serving the La and surrounding communities in Greater Accra.

The hospital, which was upgraded from a Polyclinic into a General Hospital by President Mahama to expand and improve access to quality healthcare for the people was surprisingly razed to the ground in 2019 for the construction of a new hospital.

Four years after the demolishing of the hospital, which was serving thousands of patients, the promised work on a new structure is yet to commence.

Addressing supporters, branch, and constituency executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the La Dadekotopon and Klottey Korle Constituencies today, former President Mahama said: "In a classic case of government’s deceit of the people, President Akufo-Addo, ahead of the 2020 elections, cut sod to commence work on the project. Three years later, work is still yet to start, denying the people healthcare and destroying the businesses of many who provide services in and around the facility".
