President John Dramani Mahama has revoked the appointment of Anne Sansa Daly from the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) due to concerns over her lack of a valid license to practice medicine in Ghana.
Prof. Dr. (Med) Ernest Yorke, a seasoned medical practitioner and former Greater Accra Regional Chair of the Ghana Medical Association, has been nominated to replace Daly with immediate effect.
The Presidency has instructed relevant authorities to facilitate Prof. Yorke’s swearing-in.
Health sector stakeholders had raised questions about Daly’s qualifications and fitness to serve on the board of a major public health institution. Prof. Yorke’s appointment has been praised by industry experts as a suitable and credible 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.
