The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has disclosed that his ministry is engaging the Ghana Police Service to enhance security across public health facilities nationwide.
The move comes in the wake of an alleged assault on health workers at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital by a group reportedly led by activist Ralph St Williams.
Speaking on TV3 in Accra on Monday, 25 August 2025, Mr Akandoh said improving security had become essential to safeguard both medical staff and patients.
“We will have an arrangement with the police going forward. When incidents like this occur, they shape government policy direction. I am now reflecting not only on Ridge Hospital but also on extending security to other health facilities,” he said.
He explained that the initiative would be implemented in collaboration with District Chief Executives (DCEs), district health directors and the police, to ensure swift security response whenever necessary.
