The Ministry of Health has established a three-member committee to investigate the alleged denial of emergency care that reportedly led to the death of 29-year-old engineer, Charles Amissah.
The committee is chaired by Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, a pathologist, and includes Dr Henry Kwasi Bulley, a fellow in emergency medicine at KTH, and Dr Koku Awoonor Williams, Technical Advisor to the Health Minister.
In a press statement issued in Accra, the Ministry explained that the committee would conduct a comprehensive and independent inquiry to establish the facts surrounding the incident, which reportedly occurred on February 6, 2026. The investigation will review the sequence of events, actions taken by health officials, and any factors that may have contributed to delays or challenges in providing emergency care.
The committee will also assess whether existing policies, protocols, and oversight systems governing emergency healthcare delivery are adequate and effective.
The Ministry of Health noted that the committee is expected to present its report and recommendations to the Minister for Health, Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, on or before March 5, 2026. The Ministry reiterated its commitment to accountability, integrity, and strict adherence to emergency care standards.
