Dr. Anne Sansa Daly, a US-trained internal medicine physician and host of a health programme on GHOne TV is at the centre of controversy following a news report that questioned her medical qualifications.
This follows a publication by Modern Ghana titled “Fake Female Medical Doctor on GHOne TV Exposed,” on 22 May 2025 which alleged that Dr. Daly is not licensed to practise medicine in either Ghana or the United States.
In a response dated 23 May, 2025, her lawyer, Peter Nartey Okudzeto described the article as “subterfuge to perpetuate mischief, odium and ridicule” and asserted that while Dr. Daly is not registered with the Ghana Medical and Dental Council (GMDC), she is fully certified to practise internal medicine in the United States.
“My client is excessively qualified to hold herself as a Medical Doctor anywhere in the world and does not need certification from the Ghana Medical and Dental Council to do so. Your publication, which seeks to create the impression that once someone is not on the Roll of the Ghana Medical and Dental Council they are therefore not a doctor, is, with all due respect, a proposition of fuliginous obscurity… its foundations lie on mechanical reasoning devoid of logic,” he voiced.
The Modern Ghana story cited a letter from the GMDC addressed to Linmart Media Solutions CEO, Nii Amarteifio, as evidence. However, he argued that the letter only confirmed Dr. Daly’s non-registration in Ghana and did not describe her as a fraudulent medical practitioner.
“The letter did not state anywhere that Dr Anne Sansa Daly is a fake Medical Doctor,” he emphasised. “Your publication seeks to create the impression and a firm conclusion that my client is a fake Medical Practitioner who does not hold any certificate that qualifies her to carry out medical practice in both Ghana and the United States of America.”
He accused Modern Ghana of seeking to destroy his client’s reputation and cautioned other media platforms against reproducing what he described as defamatory and false content. The lawyer further demanded that the story be retracted within 48 hours and that the rejoinder receive the same prominence as the original article.
“I have been further advised by my client to inform you, which I hereby do, to retract your story which she views as a violent and unprovoked attack on her reputation within forty-eight (48) hours and to give her rejoinder the same prominence you gave your story, and to restrain other bloggers who take their story from your outfit and online feed. You, together with your privies, are also warned to cease and desist from publishing any further falsehood against my client, failing which she will resort to legal action without further recourse to your outfit,” he concluded.
