Minority Caucus probe into TV doctor Ann Sansa Daly’s credentials

The Ranking Member of Parliament’s Health Committee, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, has formally requested the Ghana Medical and Dental Council (GMDC) to verify the medical credentials of Ann Sansa Daly.

The media personality has gained popularity through her appearances on health-related television programmes.

In a letter dated May 30, 2025, Dr. Afriye expressed concerns over the growing public profile of Sansa Daly, particularly on GHOne TV, where she regularly offers medical advice to viewers.

On Wednesday, May 28, President John Mahama removed Anne Sansa Daly from the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) amid concerns over her lack of a valid medical license to practise in Ghana.

The MP, who is himself a medical doctor, is demanding official clarification on whether she is legally registered and licensed to practise medicine in Ghana.

“I write to formally request information regarding the medical registration status of Ann Sansa Daly, who has recently come to public attention due to her appearance on health-related television programs in Ghana, particularly on GHOne TV,” Dr. Afriye stated in the letter addressed to the Registrar of the GMDC.

The MP outlined four specific requests:

1. Confirmation on whether Sansa Daly is currently registered and licensed by the GMDC to practise medicine in Ghana.
2. Whether she has ever been registered with the GMDC in any capacity, including temporary or permanent registration.
3. Clarification on the legality of an unregistered individual presenting themselves as a medical doctor or offering health advice on public platforms in Ghana.
4. Coordination with the GMDC’s counterpart in the United States for verification of Sansa Daly’s credentials abroad.

“This request is being made in the public interest to ensure that individuals offering health-related services or advice to the Ghanaian public meet the appropriate legal and professional standards as established by the Council,” the letter emphasised.

Dr. Afriye has given the Council one week to respond, underscoring the urgency of the matter and the need for public trust in health information shared in the media.
