Paul Adom questions Anne's NHIA appointment
Paul Adom Otchere was among the first people to raise alarm over Anne Sansa Daly's appointment to the NHIA board.
He claimed his checks indicated Dr Sansa Daly was not a medical doctor and questioned why she was parading herself as such.
"There’s a document. The Ghana Medical and Dental Council had an enquiry asking whether Anne was a doctor. The Ghana Medical and Dental Council answered in a very strong negative that she’s not a doctor at all," Paul said.
He further criticised the government for appointing her without doing due diligence.
Anne Sansa Daly's recent woes
Dr Anne Sansa Daly has recently become the talk of the town following concerns over her penchant for masquerading as a trained medical doctor.
She is a TV host who speaks on health issues on GHOne TV. She allegedly parades herself as a medical doctor, but recent reports indicate that Dr Daly is not.
On May 19, 2025, she was appointed to the NHIA board as one of two health professionals with expertise in health insurance.

However, her appointment was revoked on May 23, 2025, in a letter from the Presidency. There was no explanation for the decision, however, Dr Ernest Yorke was named as her replacement.
Raising concerns over her appointment, Paul Adom Otchere stated that she needed to be checked psychologically over her tendency to claim she is a medical doctor.
"Maybe we have to get a psychologist to explain to us why a young person presents herself as a doctor, something she’s never studied, something she doesn’t know anything about and then she says she’s a doctor."

Anne should be investigated before giving psychological aid
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, a Ghanaian mental health expert, Counsellor Seyram Avortri, shared his views on the matter.
"Undoubtedly, some individuals may falsely present themselves due to underlying personality disorders. However, in Anne's case, I do not believe this is the situation. I urge the government to conduct a thorough investigation to verify whether she is indeed a qualified medical professional, as she claims to be.

"If it is established that she has misrepresented herself, the authorities should seek to understand her motives. Should the investigation uncover evidence of a mental health condition influencing her actions, she should be encouraged to seek appropriate psychological support. However, if no such disorder is identified, and deliberate deception is confirmed, then the law should take its full course," he said.

Anne wasn't an NHIA board member
In a related development, YEN.com.gh reported that Ghana's Health Ministry claimed Anne Sansa Daly was never formally sworn in as a board member of the NHIA.
A statement from the Ministry indicated that Sansa Daly was not part of the NHIA board members who were given the mandate to operate on May 27, 2025.
The Ministry, therefore, urged the public to disregard any publication suggesting so since such claims are unfounded.
