Tamale Technical University Hospital closed for operating under unsafe conditions
The Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA) has shut down the Tamale Technical University Hospital over what it describes as serious safety breaches and poor infection control practices.
In a statement dated Monday, November 10, 2025, HeFRA said intelligence findings, supported by video and photographic evidence, showed that medical services at the facility were being delivered in unsafe and unhygienic conditions.
A follow-up inspection by HeFRA’s Compliance and Enforcement Directorate on Monday, November 3, confirmed the reports and revealed that the hospital was operating with an expired licence, in clear violation of the Health Institutions and Facilities Act, 2011 (Act 829).
The regulatory body has therefore ordered the immediate closure of the facility, effective Friday, November 7, 2025, until all safety and infection prevention lapses are fully addressed.
HeFRA also imposed a GHS35,000 fine on the hospital and directed management to renew its operating licence before resuming services.
