- HeFRA orders immediate closure of Tamale Technical University Hospital
- Intelligence and inspection reveal unsafe, unhygienic conditions
- Hospital breached Health Institutions and Facilities Act (Act 829)
The Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA) has ordered the immediate shutdown of the Tamale Technical University Hospital due to serious safety and infection control violations.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 10, HeFRA indicated that intelligence reports supported by photos and videos showed that medical services at the facility were being delivered in unsafe and unsanitary conditions.
A subsequent inspection conducted by the Agency’s Compliance and Enforcement Directorate on Monday, November 3, 2025, confirmed these findings and revealed that the hospital was operating with an expired license—contravening the Health Institutions and Facilities Act, 2011 (Act 829).
HeFRA has therefore directed that the hospital remain closed from Friday, November 7, 2025, until all identified safety deficiencies and infection prevention issues have been fully addressed.
