The Ministry of Health has commended the Ghana Police Service for the arrest and ongoing prosecution of Isaac Adu Gyamfi, who is alleged to have defrauded unemployed health professionals under the false pretence of securing employment within the Ghana Health Service.
According to the Ministry, the suspect is said to have collected substantial sums of money from several job seekers by falsely claiming he could facilitate their recruitment into the health sector.
Investigations are ongoing, and the suspect has been arraigned before the court and remanded into police custody pending further legal proceedings.
The Ministry reiterated that recruitment into the health sector is strictly conducted through approved and transparent procedures, stressing that no individual or group has been authorised to sell recruitment slots, offer protocol placements, or influence employment decisions in exchange for money.
It cautioned job seekers and health professionals against making payments to persons claiming to facilitate recruitment, urging victims or targets of such schemes to report immediately to the nearest police station or official Ministry channels.
The Ministry further disclosed that it is actively pursuing other cases involving recruitment fraud and related offences, in collaboration with law enforcement agencies.
It added that it remains committed to protecting the integrity of the recruitment process and ensuring that all persons involved in such illegal activities are investigated and prosecuted.
