Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah and Anne Sansa Daly

Media personality and social activist Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has called for the immediate arrest of self-styled medical practitioner, 'Dr' Anne Sansa Daly, after exposing her as a fake doctor.

His comments follow President John Dramani Mahama’s decision on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to revoke Anne Sansa Daly’s appointment to the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) after concerns emerged regarding her lack of a valid license to practice medicine in Ghana.

Daly had been publicly presenting herself as “Dr. Anne Daly” and offering health advice on television and at public events.

However, reports indicate that official responses from both the Ghana Medical and Dental Council and the American Board of Family Medicine confirmed that she holds no valid medical qualifications in either jurisdiction.

Commenting on the matter in an interview on Metro TV on Thursday, May 29, 2025, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah stated that Anne Sansa Daly has committed a serious crime for which she should not be spared but prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to other quack medical practitioners.

“What we are calling on the Medical and Dental Council to do is to recognize that this is a crime. They should not be afraid. They should go ahead and make sure that the girl is arrested and prosecuted. Otherwise, the next time they arrest another person, they will lack the moral temerity to prosecute. If this happens in full view of the public and they fail to act, they will have no moral right to pursue others,” he said.

“Even if she was not administering medicine to patients, her misrepresentation on TV as a medical doctor is a crime. It is a serious offense, and we must not sweep it under the carpet. I believe the Medical and Dental Council should lead the charge in her arrest and prosecution. When I release the Saturday edition of my show about this lady, it will shock the entire country,” Afrifa-Mensah added.

He, however, expressed doubt that the government would move forward with Anne Sansa Daly’s prosecution.

“I know that this government will not act on this lady’s case because she has connections in high places. I don’t know what she will use to shield herself, but I know there are people in this government who will protect her,” he claimed.
