In a letter from the Office of the President, the government announced that Prof. Dr. (Med) Ernest Yorke has been nominated to replace Daly with immediate effect. The Presidency has instructed relevant authorities to facilitate Prof. Yorke’s swearing-in.
While the letter did not specify reasons for Daly’s removal, sources indicate the decision was prompted by public and professional backlash over her representation as a medical doctor despite not being licensed to practise in Ghana.
Health sector stakeholders had raised questions about Daly’s qualifications and fitness to serve on the board of a major public health institution.
