The family of late engineer Charles Amissah is calling for disciplinary action against individuals found responsible for lapses that contributed to his death, following the release of the investigative report into the case.
Speaking on Channel One News on Wednesday, May 6, Dr Matilda Amissah said the family was satisfied with the findings of the committee but wants concrete sanctions imposed on those found culpable.
According to her, although the report has revived painful memories for the family, it represents an important step toward justice and accountability.
“We are grieving and nothing will bring Charles back, but we hope the appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken,” she said.
Dr Amissah admitted that revisiting the circumstances surrounding her brother’s death has been emotionally difficult.
She, however, praised the investigative committee for what she described as a thorough and professional job in uncovering the facts.
She specifically commended committee chairman Agyeman Badu Akosa and his team for their commitment to ensuring the truth was established.
The family also expressed gratitude to Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and the Ministry of Health for treating the matter with urgency.
The reaction follows the release of the “No Bed Syndrome” report, which concluded that Charles Amissah’s death after a hit-and-run incident earlier this year may have been prevented if he had received timely medical care.
The findings have reignited public calls for urgent reforms in Ghana’s emergency healthcare system and stronger accountability measures within health institutions.
