The Ministry of Health in a statement refuted reports that Ms Anne Sansa Daly was sworn in as a member of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
According to the Health Ministry, during the swearing-in ceremony held on May 27, 2025, Ms Anne Sansa Daly was not sworn in.
The ministry spokesperson Tony Goodman in a press release issued described the Graphic Online report as misleading.
The statement stated, “The Ministry wishes to categorically deny the allegations contained in the said publication and to present the facts”.
