Okoe Boye Defends $100m LHIMS Payments, Says Work Justified All Disbursements

Former Health Minister Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye has defended payments made under the $100 million Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) project, insisting that all funds disbursed during his tenure were based on verified work completed. His response follows allegations by current Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, who claimed the contract was marred by irregularities and had been referred to the Attorney-General for review and possible prosecution. According to Akandoh, the vendor received over $77 million despite completing less than half of the installations under the nationwide health digitization project. Dr. Okoe Boye rejected that claim, explaining that all payments made under the previous administration corresponded with project progress at the time. “The total project is worth 100 million dollars. They have not been paid more than that. At the time we exited, our reconciliation with the vendor showed that […]

Ministry Rejects Bias Claims in Ridge Hospital Probe

The Ministry of Health has dismissed allegations of bias against the committee that investigated the alleged assault of a nurse at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, popularly known as Ridge Hospital. In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, the Public Relations Officer, Tony Goodmann, defended the process as thorough and impartial. He stressed that the recommendations were aimed at addressing systemic lapses rather than apportioning blame. “That is not correct. We engaged everyone, including the doctor who assessed the nurse. He is a specialist, and the committee’s work cannot be undermined. This was a comprehensive exercise. Our priority is not pointing fingers but finding ways to strengthen the system,” he said. The committee’s final report, presented to Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh on Wednesday, noted that while video footage and eyewitness accounts confirmed a heated verbal exchange between Mr. […]

Health Minister Defends Farming Background

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has strongly dismissed criticisms suggesting that his farming background makes him unqualified to lead the Ministry of Health. The comments originated from Dr. David Tenkorang, General Secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), who argued that the Minister lacked a deep understanding of hospital operations because “he is a farmer.” Addressing the matter at a press conference on Thursday, Mr. Akandoh described the remarks as misplaced and a needless distraction. He explained that effective leadership of the Health Ministry does not require a medical degree alone, but rather strategic leadership, policy implementation, and problem-solving capacity. “I have been reminded that I am a farmer. Yes, nobody needs to remind me. I am a proud farmer, and everybody knows it. Until my appointment, I was one of the largest rice farmers […]

CNMAG Criticises GRNMA Secretary Over Minister Comments

The Concerned Nurses and Midwifery Association of Ghana (CNMAG) has strongly criticised comments made by Dr. David Tenkorang-Twum, General Secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), describing his remarks against Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh as “highly inappropriate.” The controversy comes in the wake of the recent assault on a nurse at Ridge Hospital, which has sparked public outcry and debates within the health sector.

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 […]
