A 48-year-old man has been arrested for operating a clinic from his home for over 12 years without a medical licence.
The 48-year-old man has been identified as Hanson Osei.
He was arrested for operating a clinic in his chamber and hall for over 12 years without a medical licence.
Reports suggest that during police interrogation, he boldly admitted to treating people without any training from a recognised medical school.
The news was shared by Ghana Chronicles on X, which reads, “A 48-year-old man, Hanson Osei, has been arrested for operating a “clinic” in his chamber and hall room for over 12 years without a medical licence.
During police interrogation, he boldly admitted to treating people without any training from a recognised medical school”.
Some Ghanaians have reacted to the story, saying, “Questions, how many fatalities has he recorded? What’s the distance & state of the hospital closest to him? What do people see in him that made them patronise him for 12 years? Get witnesses and get your answer. Apart from not being licensed, he may be saving lives”.
Another stated, “Twelve years of running a clinic in a chamber and hall without a license? This is beyond risky, it’s dangerous. Health isn’t trial and error. Authorities must crack down harder, and some Ghanaians must stop gambling with unqualified hands when lives are at stake”.
A netzine added, “They should then arrest all these herbal doctors also. There’s no difference between them and Me. Hanson”.
“They should arrest those who go there for medical treatment too”, another netizen wrote.
One more X user added, “If the community had access to a healthcare facility, would they have patronised that shambolic service?
They’ve been voting for decades, yet something as basic as a medical centre is not available.
We have failed our people!”
Additionally, a Ghanaian added, “If the people are receiving better treatment and not complaining, then we don’t see any problems with you arresting him.
People have knowledge of inventions, but they have never been in an innovation training program or course”.
In related news, the Medical and Dental Council of Ghana (MDC) has revealed quackery as a major challenge affecting medical practice in Ghana.
The MDC revealed that between 2024 and the third quarter of 2025, four individuals have been arrested for unlicensed medical practice.
Also, several others remain under investigation, with prosecution pending.
The Medical and Dental Council of Ghana also raised concerns about forged qualifications by individuals attempting to gain clearance to practice in Ghana.
According to the MDC, they are working with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) to introduce a name tag and stamp policy by 2026 for all health practitioners.
