The Majority in Parliament has condemned the assault on health workers at Ridge Hospital in Accra on Sunday, August 17, 2025.

It is also calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of all suspects involved in the incident.

The call follows the circulation of a video showing relatives of a patient clashing with some health workers at the hospital’s emergency department during an urgent medical case.

Addressing journalists on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Health, Mark Kurt Nawaane, said, "I don’t see why the police should not arrest this person and let him go through the process. After all, you’re arrested, granted bail, and if there’s a need to go to court, you go to court. This is the process. I would want the police to ensure that he goes through the process, and whatever happens, that is the law."
