The government plans to build 600 new Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds by 2025, sparking criticism for diverting funds from the incomplete “Agenda 111” hospital project.
The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announced the project but critics argue for prioritizing existing projects and addressing healthcare needs in rural areas.
Some Ghanaians took to some social media, X, formerly Twitter to share their views

First things first, we need universal health coverage, and to get there, we need to expand primary care. The CHPS program is the vehicle driving this initiative, so I think it's a step in the right direction and it's significance is not outlived https://t.co/8V3pfPS3qH

While we encourage the government to complete the Agenda 111 hospitals, which I believe will be done.
We must not also lose our senses by thinking that CHPS Compounds have outlived their relevance.— Banbeo (@PrinceBanbeo) June 30, 2025
