The Medical and Dental Council (MDC) has announced the arrest of four individuals across the country for unlawfully practising medicine without the necessary certification.
The suspects, Kate Baidoo (Osag Medical Centre, Nsakena), Ebenezer Koomson (E & E Medical Centre, Gomoa Afransi), Innocent Tagbovi (Mighty Clinic, Madina), and Ebenezer Sarpong (Goodcare Medical Centre, Swalaba Bukom), were caught during undercover operations conducted between September 2024 and August 2025.
In its statement, the MDC noted that, “Subsequent investigations confirmed that [Kate Baidoo] was operating without registration at the Osag Medical Centre, Nsakena. During an undercover operation, the Council’s investigative team found her in a consulting room attending to a patient.”
For Ebenezer Koomson, the Council said, “Although Mr Koomson had completed a Physician Assistant Programme, he had not sat for or passed the Council’s licentiate examination, which is a mandatory requirement for lawful practice. He was nonetheless providing medical services at the facility.”
Similarly, Innocent Tagbovi, previously arrested in 2017, was found again practising unlawfully at Madina. “The Council’s undercover team found him in a consulting room attending to patients… [He] acknowledged that he had attempted the Council’s licentiate examinations on two occasions but was unsuccessful.”
The most recent case involved Ebenezer Sarpong, who was arrested in August 2025.
“Council’s undercover investigations conducted on 14th August 2025 found Ebenezer Sarpong practising medicine contrary to law,” they added.
All four suspects are currently assisting the police with investigations pending prosecution.
