President John Dramani Mahama has officially removed Anne Sansa Daly from the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) due to concerns surrounding her medical credentials, particularly the absence of a valid license to practice in Ghana.
A statement issued by the Office of the President confirmed Daly’s dismissal and announced the immediate nomination of Prof. Dr. (Med) Ernest Yorke as her replacement. Authorities have been directed to expedite his swearing-in.
Although the official communication did not detail the reasons behind Daly’s removal, insiders report that mounting criticism from health professionals and the public over her unlicensed status played a decisive role.
Many questioned her suitability for a position on the NHIA Board, given its crucial role in steering the country’s health insurance policies and operations.
Prof. Yorke, who currently serves as Vice President of the Ghana Medical Association, is highly respected within the medical community and is seen as a strong and qualified choice for the post.
