The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has directed immediate disciplinary action against health professionals cited in the investigation into the death of engineer Charles Amissah, while assuring full implementation of the committee’s recommendations.

Speaking to the press on Wednesday, May 6, after receiving the committee’s report, the Minister described the findings as timely and critical to reforming Ghana’s healthcare system. The report was presented by the committee’s chairman, Agyeman Badu Akosa.

Mr Akandoh commended the committee for what he termed a thorough and impactful investigation, stressing that government is committed to ensuring accountability and addressing systemic failures in emergency healthcare delivery.

As part of immediate measures, the Minister ordered that all health professionals named in the report be referred to their respective institutions and regulatory bodies for disciplinary action over breaches of professional duty.

Those cited include Dr Anne-Marie Kudowor of the Police Hospital, Dr Nina Naomi Eyram Adotevi of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Dr Ida Druant of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, and Dr (Med) Genevieve Adjar, also of Korle Bu and the MDC.

Others are Miss Akosua B. Turkson of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital and Miss Joy Daisy Nelson of Korle Bu and the NMC, all of whom are to undergo disciplinary processes for their roles in handling the case.

The Minister further directed that the referral processes be handled expeditiously to ensure justice for the deceased and restore public confidence in the healthcare system.

Mr Amissah, a 29-year-old employee of Promasidor Ghana Limited, died on February 6, 2026, after a hit-and-run incident at the Circle Overpass. Despite being stabilised, he was reportedly denied admission at multiple facilities, including Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, and the Police Hospital.

The incident has triggered widespread concern over Ghana’s persistent “no-bed syndrome,” with the committee’s findings expected to drive critical reforms in emergency care and hospital admission protocols nationwide.
