President John Dramani Mahama has revoked the appointment of Anne Sansa Daly from the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), following concerns about her lack of a valid license to practise medicine in Ghana.
In a letter from the Office of the President, the government announced that Prof. Dr. (Med) Ernest Yorke has been nominated to replace Daly with immediate effect. The Presidency has instructed relevant authorities to facilitate Prof. Yorke’s swearing-in.
While the letter did not specify reasons for Daly’s removal, sources indicate the decision was prompted by public and professional backlash over her representation as a medical doctor despite not being licensed to practise in Ghana.
Health sector stakeholders had raised questions about Daly’s qualifications and fitness to serve on the board of a major public health institution.
Prof. Dr. Ernest Yorke, currently serving as Vice President of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) is widely regarded by industry experts as a credible and fitting replacement.
The NHIA Board plays a key role in overseeing the management and policy direction of Ghana’s national health insurance scheme, which serves millions of citizens across the country
