GHANA, WE NEED TO TALK: WHY DOES AN ASSAULT VICTIM HAVE TO PAY GH¢1,000–GH¢1,500 FOR A POLICE MEDICAL REPORT?
There is an issue in Ghana that deserves serious national attention, but somehow, we are not talking about it enough.
Why should someone who has been physically assaulted, injured and traumatised have to pay between GH¢1,000 and GH¢1,500 to obtain a police medical report?
Think about the ordinary Ghanaian who survives on a daily income. Someone attacks him, he sustains injuries, reports the matter to the police, and is referred to a hospital for medical examination.
Then comes another burden: the cost of obtaining the medical report.
What happens to those who cannot afford it? Are they expected to abandon their pursuit of justice because they are poor?
I am not questioning the professional expertise of our doctors, nor am I suggesting that medical professionals should not be compensated for their services.
But we must ask ourselves whether the cost of accessing justice should become another punishment for victims.
I am calling on the Ministry of Health, Ghana Medical Association, Ghana Police Service and Ministry of Justice to clarify the policy governing these charges.
We need transparency, accountability and, most importantly, a system that protects vulnerable citizens.
Justice must not be determined by the size of someone's pocket. An assault victim should not have to choose between paying for a medical report and pursuing justice.
Ghana deserves answers!

You see where they’re installing TraffiTech cameras in the name of road safety, That road hasn’t had proper lane markings for over 20 years to guide drivers or prevent them from crossing into each other’s lanes. There are no traffic lights at that intersection either. Yet someone with just 100MB of data left will come and tell you it’s all about saving lives.
Many Ghanaians have never seen a leader with a genuine commitment to development. Look at what Ibrahim Traoré is doing in Burkina Faso. Their economy grew by 5.3% in 2025. Just look at the local development projects his government has undertaken in only 4 years, 1 month, and 6 days, and compare that with what the NPP and NDC have achieved in Ghana over 34 years. Just do a little research into what’s happening in Burkina Faso.
While you’re waiting until 12 AM just to download something because data is cheaper at that time, I’m on unlimited data. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, and sleep whenever I want. Meanwhile, you have to wake up and buy your daily data bundle. Yet, when we talk about making data prices affordable, w’ano kyabi kyabi, insulting people too….
The guy explains what happened to the over GH₵39,000 in his MoMo account. He believes it was an inside job and that the same thing could happen to anyone using MoMo.
They are milking my people while still offering poor services, yet some of you will still come online and defend MTN. MTN is making a significantly higher profit margin in Ghana than AT&T makes in the US.
@tech_twi True. MTN Ghana posts net profit margins near 33% (e.g. 7.8B PAT on 23.2B revenue in 9M 2026) with EBITDA near 61%. AT&T’s recent TTM net margin is about 10%. Ghana’s far lower incomes and smaller population make the gap striking.
This could possibly be an inside job. Here’s a photo of the guy’s statement when he first reached out to me. There is a possibility that some people working inside MTN might be collaborating with outsiders.
I believe all media stations in Ghana should start asking why MTN Ghana’s profit margin is higher than those of major US carriers. In many countries, this would spark massive public outrage and protests, especially considering that US carriers offer far more benefits, including unlimited mobile data plans. They are heavily taking so much from us. We should put our differences aside and have this conversation.
Many Ghanaians are weak but the loudest. We can’t even come together to fight for something that will benefit all of us. Just last year here in the US, people were complaining about fraud on Cash App, and regulators stepped in and found that the company wasn’t doing enough to protect its users. They ordered the company to pay up to $120 million in consumer refunds and other redress, plus a $55 million penalty.
But in Ghana, instead of coming together to hold these big corporations accountable, we are busy fighting among ourselves and defending the same companies making billions from us. We are too divided, and too many people with low IQs are making things worse.
