The 30-bedroom district hospital at Ajumako in the Central Region which was started in 2007, would be commissioned by December 2010.
Mr Francis Laryea, OPEC/Project Implementation Unit (PIU) quantity surveyor, said the project was being funded by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the Ghana government at a cost of GH�116,818.
At a site meeting after inspection of works on Thursday, Mr Michael Asamoah, member of the OPEC/PIU team accepted the progress report on the maternity block and operation theatre, which were 85 per cent and 75 per cent completed respectively, and urged all stakeholders, especially the sub and main contractors, to finish their work by the end of October 2010.
It was also agreed that the OPD/adjacent clinic, rehabilitation of wards, conversion of the administrative block and other external works be completed by the end of November, to ensure it would be handed over by December.
The project which should have been completed over a year ago had to be revised because of financial challenges that slowed the progress of work for sometime.
Alhaji Majeed Ziblim, OPEC/PIU Project Accountant, assured all contractors that although the cash flow from the government had been slow, the OPEC portion of the funding was guaranteed and that directives from the Controller and Accountant General's Department had also ordered the release of Government's portion of the funding last weekend.
He urged all the contractors to work hard to complete the project on time.
Meanwhile a container full of equipment, materials and accessories for the maternity block and the theatre which arrived at the site over a year ago, are now at the mercy of the weather.
