The Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA) has shut down 18 health facilities in Kumasi, including the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Clinic, for operating without valid licenses.
The closures followed an inspection tour of 20 facilities across the metropolis as part of HeFRA’s nationwide enforcement and compliance campaign.
According to the Director of Compliance and Enforcement, Agyeman Badu, several of the affected facilities had either failed to renew their operational licenses or were operating without proper certification required by law.
HeFRA officials emphasized that the exercise aims to ensure patient safety, professional accountability, and strict adherence to health regulations.
The Agency has warned that similar enforcement actions will be extended to other regions to clamp down on unlicensed health facilities across the country.
