Ridge Hospital Assault: Probe Finds No Medical Evidence

The committee investigating the recent Ridge Hospital assault incident has concluded that there is no medical evidence to support claims that Rejoice Tsotso Bortei, a rotation nurse, suffered a shoulder dislocation during the altercation.

Health Minister Defends Handshake with Activist

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has defended his decision to shake hands with Ralph St. William, the social media activist accused of assaulting a health worker at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital. The handshake, captured on video during the minister’s visit to the hospital, drew public criticism with many perceiving it as an endorsement of the activist’s actions. Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, August 21, 2025, Minister Akandoh explained that the handshake was not intended as approval of the alleged assault but rather a courtesy gesture expected of a public official. “At that point, should I push him away, snub him, or shout at him? Even if he had been sentenced to life imprisonment, as a minister and a public officer, I have a duty to greet him back,” he clarified. According to the Minister, the […]
