The minority in parliament has issued a one-week ultimatum to GHOne TV regarding Dr Anne Sansa Daly’s medical television programme ‘Health and Life with Dr. Daly’, which aired on the network.
Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie, the Ranking Member of the Health Committee in a letter signed quizzed GHOne TV conducted prior to granting Dr. Daly a platform to host a health-focused programme.
They also asked for the documents Anne Sansa Daly submitted to verify her qualifications as a health practitioner and also the basis on which GHone approved and aired a program offering medical advice and information to the public.
Part of the letter reads, “The Ghanaian public rely heavily on the credibility of media houses in shaping their public knowledge on health and wellness issues. Therefore, it is important that individuals given such platforms are thoroughly vetted and meet legal and professional standards”.
Their comments come on the back of Anne Sansa Daly’s appointment as a board member of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) being revoked by President John Mahama with immediate effect.
According to reports, Anne Sansa Daly’s appointment revocation follows the brouhaha surrounding her appointment after reports her medical credentials are fake.
The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, in a letter dated May 23, 2025, and signed by the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama revealed the revocation.
Meanwhile, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the USA has revealed they cannot locate a record under the name Anne Sansa Daly.
This comes after a concerned citizen, a pharmacist identified as Reginald Sekyi-Brown, wrote to the Office of the Registrar of the school on May 25, 2025.
In response to the letter, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine stated, “Hello, We are unable to locate a record under this name,” a response from Johns Hopkins read.
Meanwhile, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, a media personality and social activist has called for the arrest and prosecution of Anne Sansa Daly.
He stated, “What we are calling on the Medical and Dental Council to do is to recognize that this is a crime. They should not be afraid. They should go ahead and make sure that the girl is arrested and prosecuted. Otherwise, the next time they arrest another person, they will lack the moral temerity to prosecute. If this happens in full view of the public and they fail to act, they will have no moral right to pursue others”.
“Even if she was not administering medicine to patients, her misrepresentation on TV as a medical doctor is a crime. It is a serious offense, and we must not sweep it under the carpet. I believe the Medical and Dental Council should lead the charge in her arrest and prosecution. When I release the Saturday edition of my show about this lady, it will shock the entire country,” Afrifa-Mensah added.
