Nyaho Medical Centre, located in Accra’s Airport Residential Area, has been instructed to provide a statement to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service regarding its expired data protection certificate. This directive was issued by the Data Protection Commission (DPC) after an operation on Monday, October 12, 2026, aimed at enforcing compliance with Ghana's data protection regulations. The DPC flagged the facility due to the expired certificate, and an investigation will determine the reasons for the lapse and whether the centre has adhered to regulatory requirements. Healthcare facilities handle sensitive patient information, making compliance with data protection laws crucial for privacy and trust. The DPC oversees Ghana's data protection framework, and under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), organisations processing personal data must meet registration and data protection obligations. Details about how long Nyaho Medical Centre's registration has been lapsed are not yet clear, and the DPC has not disclosed further findings or potential legal actions. The medical centre has not yet responded to the development.
