David Adjaye, the British-Ghanaian architect best known for designing the National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington DC, is helping Ghana give its healthcare system a massive face-lift.
A design created by Adjaye Associates, the architect’s 21-year-old London-based firm, will be applied to 101 new district hospitals in the country, as part of a project called “Agenda 111,” which aims to build 111 new public healthcare facilities.
The Ghanaian government said it has secured $100 million for 88 sites through the Ghana Investment Infrastructure Fund (GIIF). President Nana Akufo-Addo performed an official ceremony in the Ashanti region to kick-off construction on Aug. 17.
