Ho: Allied Health Professions Council closes six facilities over safety breaches

The Allied Health Professions Council has shut down six health facilities in the Ho Zonal Area after they were found to be operating without meeting basic regulatory and safety requirements.

Speaking to Citi FM, Registrar of the Allied Health Professions Council, Professor Issahaku Shirazu, said facilities that operate without proper SOPs put patients at risk because regulators cannot establish whether appropriate procedures and equipment are being used.

Their closure followed compliance inspections conducted by the Council as part of efforts to ensure that allied health facilities operate in line with approved standards.
