PSGH condemns Cape Coast MCE over forced closure of pharmacy during clean-up

The Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (PSGH) has strongly condemned the forced closure of a community pharmacy in Cape Coast by local government authorities during the recent National Sanitation Day exercise.

The footage shows the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Cape Coast directing the immediate closure of Cape Coast Pharmacy on Friday, 10th July 2026, and ordering patrons seeking healthcare to vacate the premises.

The PSGH urged the Cape Coast MCE and other local government officials to exercise restraint and utilize consultation rather than confrontation when enforcing future public directives.
