In a report by TV3, the association issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the government for the social activist's arrest for allegedly assaulting a nurse.
This comes after Ralph St Williams was captured at the Ridge Hospital in Accra, lambasting nurses for neglecting their duties.
Ralph, famed for his outspoken stance on national and social issues, confronted the health workers at Ridge Hospital, accusing them of operating with "no sense of urgency."
He shared the video on his official social media as an attempt to get the health workers to do better.
The incident gained significant traction online after the heated confrontation between emergency ward staff and a group of individuals, including Ralph, went viral.
Following Ralph's conduct, the Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, visited the Greater Accra Regional Hospital after the incident.
The Ministry of Health condemned the attack on health professionals at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, describing it on August 18 as an unfortunate act of interference.
In a statement, the ministry said such acts threatened the safety of health professionals and announced plans to beef up security at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital to safeguard staff, patients, and visitors.
