The Ghana New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority Caucus in Parliament has demanded accountability from the government regarding the disruption of key electronic health information systems. According to a press statement issued on Friday, the disruption affected systems like the District Health Information Management System 2 (DHIMS2).
The Caucus expressed concern over the issues, which stemmed from the suspension of 10 servers by Akamai due to an outstanding payment of US$64,510.95. The disruption rendered the systems inaccessible since October 29, 2026. This came after the Ministry of Health announced the Ghana Health Information Management System (GHIMS) as a replacement for the Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) in October 2025.
The statement questioned the sustainability of Ghana's digital health strategy and called for a comprehensive account of expenditure on the digital health infrastructure. The Caucus demanded five things: the restoration of the affected systems, a clear timeline for their full recovery, a detailed account of expenditure on GHIMS, an investigation into the Akamai suspension, and an independent audit of the digital health infrastructure.
