The family of the late engineer Charles Amissah has expressed satisfaction with the findings of the investigative committee that examined the circumstances surrounding his death, while calling for disciplinary action against those found responsible.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, the deceased’s sister, Dr Matilda Amissah, said that although the findings were painful for the family, they represented an important step toward accountability.
“We are grieving; it will not bring Charles Amissah back, but we hope that disciplinary action will be taken by the various bodies. Yes, we are satisfied with the recommendations of the report,” she said.
The comments come after the Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa-led committee presented its report to Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
Titled the “No Bed Syndrome” report, the committee concluded that Charles Amissah’s death following a hit-and-run incident could potentially have been avoided if he had received timely medical care.
Dr Amissah admitted that the release of the report had reopened painful memories for the family, adding: “I am not very good. I am very sad. It reminds me of all that happened previously.”
Despite the grief, she commended the investigative committee for what she described as thorough and professional work. She praised the committee chairman, Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa, and his team for their commitment to uncovering the facts surrounding her brother’s death.
She also thanked the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, and the Ministry of Health for treating the matter with the seriousness it deserved.
“The investigative committee has done excellent work. We appreciate the professionalism, commitment and dedication throughout the entire pursuit of the truth,” she said.
The findings have since renewed calls for reforms in emergency healthcare delivery and stronger accountability within the health sector.
