The Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA) has closed 23 health facilities across Ghana found to be operating without valid licenses or failing to meet required safety and operational standards.
The enforcement operation, which started on Monday, October 6, 2025, is part of a national effort to promote quality and safe healthcare delivery.
It targets facilities with expired permits, unlicensed operations, or poor conditions deemed unsafe for patient care.
In a statement, HeFRA explained that the move supports its mandate to maintain healthcare standards and safeguard the public from unsafe and substandard medical practices.
The agency also noted that the exercise aligns with the Health Ministry’s ongoing reform programme under the government’s Resetting Agenda, led by Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh. The broader initiative seeks to strengthen healthcare regulation and ensure that all service providers meet established quality benchmarks.
HeFRA further encouraged the public to seek care only from accredited facilities and reminded health operators that valid licenses must be visibly displayed at all times.
