  "summary": "The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has issued a directive to health sector institutions to recover outstanding monies and pay them into the appropriate accounts, following their examination of the 2025 Auditor-General’s Reports. The Committee specifically addressed the recovery of GH¢17,000 owed to Pantang Hospital by the Ghana Medical Association and GH¢16,100 owed by the Akuapem South Municipal Assembly under its Corporate Social Responsibility programme. These debts were incurred from the treatment of individuals with mental health conditions who were found on the streets and subsequently received care at the hospital. The PAC expressed concern over the recurring audit infractions in public institutions and emphasized the need for stronger accountability and compliance with financial management procedures. The Committee urged the involved officials to review the audit findings, provide updated responses, and ensure the full implementation of the Auditor-General's recommendations to prevent such infractions from happening again.",
