Nyaho Medical Centre referred to CID over allegedly expired data protection registration

Healthcare facilities routinely collect and process sensitive personal information, including patients’ medical histories, diagnoses, contact details and treatment records, making compliance with data protection requirements essential to safeguarding patient privacy.

Nyaho Medical Centre has been directed to report to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to provide a statement over the expiry of its data protection certificate.

The DPC is responsible for overseeing compliance with Ghana’s data protection framework, which sets out obligations for organisations that collect and process personal data.
