Anne Sansa Daly

 

President John Dramani Mahama has revoked the appointment of Anne Sansa Daly from the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).

A statement issued and signed by the Secretary to the President, Calistus Mahama, said the President has nominated Prof. Dr. Ernest Yorke to replace her as a member of the Board.

The termination of her appointment comes in the wake of growing concerns from health professionals and the public over her lack of a valid license to practise medicine in Ghana.

Prof. Ernest Yorke, her replacement, is a seasoned physician and current vice president of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA).

He is expected to bring his vast experience and leadership to strengthen the NHIA Board’s oversight.

The NHIA Board plays a critical role in shaping policy and overseeing the management of Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), which is central to the delivery of healthcare services to millions of Ghanaians.
