The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has pledged to fully enforce the recommendations outlined in the report on the death of Charles Amissah.

Speaking to journalists after receiving the findings from the committee chaired by Agyeman Badu Akosa, the Minister described the work as comprehensive and commended the committee for its detailed assessment of the circumstances surrounding the case.

He emphasized government’s resolve to ensure accountability while pursuing broader reforms within the healthcare system, particularly in the area of emergency response.

As part of immediate steps, the Minister directed that all health workers cited in the report be referred to their respective institutions and regulatory bodies for disciplinary processes over lapses in professional conduct.

Those identified include Dr Anne-Marie Kudowor of the Police Hospital, Dr Nina Naomi Eyram Adotevi of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Dr Ida Druant and Dr (Med) Genevieve Adjar of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, all of whom are to face sanctions through the Medical and Dental Council.

Additionally, Miss Akosua B. Turkson of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital and Miss Joy Daisy Nelson of Korle Bu are to undergo disciplinary procedures through their institutions and the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The Minister further instructed that the referral processes be handled without delay to ensure swift action, stressing that accountability is essential to restoring public trust in the health system.

Charles Amissah, a 29-year-old employee of Promasidor Ghana Limited, died on February 6, 2026, after sustaining injuries in a hit-and-run incident at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Overpass. He was reportedly unable to secure admission at several major facilities before his death, a situation that reignited national concern over the ongoing “no-bed syndrome.”

The committee’s report is expected to inform critical policy changes aimed at strengthening emergency healthcare delivery across the country.
