President John Dramani Mahama has revoked the appointment of Anne Sansa Daly from the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) and nominated renowned medical expert Prof. Dr. (Med) Ernest Yorke as her replacement. The move, announced on May 23, 2025, follows growing public scrutiny over Daly’s professional background.

A letter signed by Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, confirmed the revocation and instructed relevant bodies to take steps for the immediate swearing-in of Dr. Yorke. Though no specific reason was cited in the official communication, the decision comes after widespread concern over Daly’s purported medical qualifications, which many questioned due to the absence of valid medical licensing credentials.
