4 fake doctors arrested

Four people have been arrested nationwide for illegally practicing medicine without the required accreditation, according to the Medical and Dental Council (MDC).

During undercover operations between September 2024 and August 2025, the suspects Kate Baidoo (Osag Medical Centre, Nsakena), Ebenezer Koomson (E & E Medical Centre, Gomoa Afransi), Innocent Tagbovi (Mighty Clinic, Madina), and Ebenezer Sarpong (Goodcare Medical Centre, Swalaba Bukom) were apprehended.

“Subsequent investigations confirmed that [Kate Baidoo] was operating without registration at the Osag Medical Centre, Nsakena,” the MDC said in its statement. She was discovered by the Council’s investigative team in a consultation room while caring for a patient during an undercover operation.

“Although Mr Koomson had completed a Physician Assistant Programme, he had not sat for or passed the Council’s licentiate examination, which is a mandatory requirement for lawful practice. He was nonetheless providing medical services at the facility” MDC stated.

At Madina, Innocent Tagbovi, who had been arrested in 2017, was also discovered engaging in illegal activities. “The Council’s undercover team discovered him caring for patients in a consultation room. [He] admitted that he had twice attempted but failed the Council’s licentiate exams.

Ebenezer Sarpong was arrested in August 2025 in the most recent case.

“The Council’s undercover investigations on August 14, 2025, discovered Ebenezer Sarpong practicing medicine in violation of the law,” they stated.

In the meantime, all four accused are cooperating with police investigations while they await trial.
