Chief Executive Officer of Obengfo Hospital, Dr. Dominic Kwame Obeng-Andoh, has accused Registrar of the Medical and Dental Council (MDC) of attempts to frustrate his practice.
According to him, Dr. Eli Atupkpui, is pursuing a personal vendetta against him despite the fact that a court of competent jurisdiction has acquitted him of any wrongdoing.
Mr. Andoh argued on Neat FM monitored by ghanaquest.com that contrary to claims, he has renewed his practicing license and that of his hospital and paid the required fees.
He stressed that Dr. Atupkpui was the one who issued the receipts after the payment was made.
He said, “It is a very deliberate attempt to try and destroy me. It looks so wickedly personal and wickedly vindictive.”

“Obengfo Hospital is a very safe place to visit just like any other hospital in Ghana. My hospital is a very safe place that we are working from and providing service to clients and patients.”
“It is a legally registered entity and my license has been renewed,” he stated.
Dr. Obeng-Andoh mocked the Council’s Registrar with claims perhaps he had attempted to strike a relationship with one of the women he had worked on but was rejected hence the personal dislike for his practice.
“Dr. Atupkpui’s dislike for me and my practice is so personal that it does not even make sense,” he said.
According to him, he has fulfilled all his obligations to the mother association and as a practitioner, his duties include attending continues professional education every year, which he has done as many times as he could.
He said, “I have attended a lot of these courses and I have piled the certificates as evidence. These would be used next year at the Medical and Dental Council to renew my license.”
An Accra Circuit Court on Tuesday 8th October 2019 acquitted Dr. Obeng-Andoh of wrongdoing in a case in which he was charged for practicing and operating a health facility without the required licenses.
The Judge, in a 100-page ruling, said the charges were inconsistent with the evidence given by the prosecution witnesses.
He described the charges as diametrically apart, saying there was no document to corroborate the offense of failure to operate without a license.
