When social media goes into overdrive, facts often get lost in the noise — and Ghana’s Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, isn’t having it.
In an interview with Oyerepa TV (June 1, 2025), the Minister set the record straight regarding the claims made by Anne Sansa Daly, whose appointment to the NHIA Board was recently revoked.
Here’s a simplified listicle of the key points Kwakye Ofosu made — no fluff, just facts:
1. No, Sansa Daly was never President Mahama’s physician
Forget what you read online — the Minister says it plainly: Sansa Daly never served as the personal doctor to former President Mahama. According to him, the President’s physician is a seasoned professional who’s been by his side long before the presidency.
“She has never been close to the President before… I can tell you on authority,” Kwakye Ofosu insisted.
2. That viral Facebook post? It might be fake
A resurfaced Facebook post allegedly from Sansa Daly claims she served Mahama during his presidency — but the Minister doubts its authenticity. Her account has since been deactivated, making verification difficult.
He suspects it may have been doctored by political opponents to stir trouble.

3. She was never sworn in as a board member
Let’s be clear: even though her name appeared as an NHIA board nominee, Kwakye Ofosu clarified that Sansa was never officially sworn in. Her appointment had been withdrawn before the inauguration, meaning she didn’t assume the role at all.
4. Government acted before the backlash exploded
One of the more surprising reveals? The government pulled the plug on her appointment even before the public uproar over her credentials began. That move, the Minister said, shows proactive governance.
5. The President’s real physician is still in place — and highly respected
No confusion here. Kwakye Ofosu reaffirmed that Mahama’s medical care has always been in the hands of a top-tier, long-serving medical doctor — not someone randomly attached for political clout.

6. The government is open to feedback — and ready to act
In a tone that signaled humility, Kwakye Ofosu said the government welcomes public feedback. “If something escapes our attention, and people raise it, we’ll act,” he stated. It’s part of their commitment to accountability and inclusivity.

7. This is a case of misinformation — and possibly sabotage
While he didn’t mince words, Kwakye Ofosu believes this entire situation might be rooted in intentional misinformation. He urged the public to remain vigilant and not fall for politically motivated falsehoods designed to discredit the administration.
