Personnel from the Agency stormed the Lake Road Clinic to shut it down after gathering intelligence that the facility was conducting abortions illegally.
The HeFRA is tasked with ensuring that health facilities comply with the necessary standard while delivering services to the public.
The Registrar for HeFRA, Dr. Philip Bannor, said the personnel at the clinic are unlicensed, adding that his team found several unhygienic and unregistered medical equipment used for surgical procedures at the facility.
“We saw several equipment that seemed to be used but have not been washed or cleaned. We saw the operating table and the state it was in. It wasn’t in the best of shape,” he said, as quoted by Classfmonline.
Five more diagnostic centres have been shut down in a special operation to clamp down on unlicensed health facilities in Kumasi in the Ashanti region by the Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA).
