L-R: Anne Sansa Daly, President John Dramani Mahama and Felix Kwakye Ofosu
The Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has refuted claims purportedly made by Anne Sansa Daly, whose appointment was revoked following public concerns about her medical credentials that she served as a physician to President John Dramani Mahama.
Addressing the claim that sparked public concern after the resurfacing of a purported Facebook post allegedly made by Anne Sansa Daly, Kwakye Ofosu stated that Sansa has never served as the President’s physician.
He clarified that she has never had any personal encounter with the President and emphasised that the President’s official physician is a highly qualified professional who has worked with him for years, even before he assumed the presidency.
“It is not true. I have known President Mahama’s physician, who has worked with him for several years. He is a prominent, highly qualified medical doctor. This lady [Sansa Daly] has never been close to the president before, and her claims are not true. I can tell you on authority that she has never been the president’s physician. Some people have flagged the post as fake,” the minister clarified in an interview with Oyerepa TV on June 1, 2025.
Kwakye Ofosu, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese, further addressed the revocation of Anne Sansa Daly’s appointment as a board member of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), stating that her nomination was withdrawn and, as a result, she was not sworn in by the Minister of Health.
“The lady did not even attend the inauguration because at that time, her nomination had been withdrawn. The documents showed that her she wasn’t even having her appointment, and that goes to prove that the government took action even before the issue came out,” he continued.
Kwakye Ofosu reaffirmed the ruling government’s commitment to inclusivity, stating that they are willing to listen and respond to issues that may not yet have come to the government’s attention.
“As a government, we are ready to listen and act if people draw our attention to issues happening, we may not be aware of. It is a better way to serve people than to not act when you are being alerted on issues going wrong,” he added.
His remarks follow a viral post purportedly from Anne Sansa Daly and dated December 10, 2024, in which she congratulates President Mahama on his election and expresses gratitude for having served as his personal physician.
Although the authenticity of the post cannot be verified given that Anne Sansa Daly’s official Facebook page has been deactivated since the controversy over her credentials, Kwakye Ofosu suggested that the post may have been doctored by political opponents to create disaffection toward the government.
