The Ministry of Health (Ghana) has constituted a three-member committee to investigate allegations that the late 29-year-old engineer, Charles Amissah, was denied emergency medical care, leading to his death.
In a statement dated February 18, 2026, the Ministry said the committee will conduct a comprehensive and independent inquiry into events surrounding the incident, which reportedly occurred on February 6, 2026. The team will examine the sequence of events, decision-making processes and any factors that may have contributed to delays or challenges in providing emergency care.
The committee will also assess the adequacy of existing policies, protocols and oversight mechanisms governing emergency healthcare delivery in the country.
The probe is being chaired by Agyeman Badu Akosa. Other members are Henry Kwasi Bulley, a Fellow in Emergency Medicine at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, and Koku Awoonor-Williams, Technical Advisor to the Minister for Health.
The Ministry said the committee is expected to submit its findings and recommendations on or before March 5, 2026, and reaffirmed its commitment to integrity and accountability in emergency healthcare delivery. The statement was signed by the Ministry’s spokesperson, Tony Goodman.
