The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has been urged by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to call the management of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Police Hospital, and Greater Accra Regional Hospital before the Health Committee regarding the alleged denial of medical care to Charles Amissah, a hit-and-run victim who was allegedly killed on February 6, 2026.
He emphasized that the issue must be left unsolved and that any guilty party must face consequences in order to act as a deterrent.
The Effutu Member of Parliament insisted that in order to ascertain whether carelessness occurred and to guarantee that appropriate action is taken in the event that wrongdoing is proven, the Health Committee must carry out a comprehensive inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death.
“Mr Speaker, with your directive, summon the Chief Executive Officers and the heads of the emergency units of the three hospitals involved. Demand the provision of duty rosters and bed occupancy records for that night.
“They should establish conclusively whether the 2018 Ghana Health Service directive was breached and finally determine whether professional misconduct or negligence occurred. If misconduct is established, sanctions must follow; if negligence is proven, prosecution must follow,” Afenyo said.
He further called on the Ghana Police Service to intensify efforts to identify and apprehend the driver responsible for the incident.
“I call upon the Ghana Police Service to deploy every resource, investigative technique and intelligence capability at their disposal to track down and apprehend this individual,” he stated.
