A grieving husband from Ashaiman, Clement Frimpong, has filed a GH₵2 million lawsuit against Dr. Clement Oppong and Graceyard Hospital following the death of his wife, Naomi Okyere, after complications during childbirth.
The suit, lodged at the High Court in Gbetsile on August 25, 2025, accuses the doctor and his private facility of medical negligence and professional misconduct. Frimpong is seeking GH₵1.5 million in damages for wrongful death and emotional trauma, and an additional GH₵500,000 to support the couple’s three children.
Naomi had been receiving antenatal care at Ashaiman Municipal Hospital, where Dr. Oppong also practices. He later referred her to Graceyard Hospital, his private clinic, for what he claimed would be better care. Naomi was admitted on November 7, 2024, and underwent a Cesarean section the following day.
According to the suit, Naomi developed severe anaemia after surgery and was subjected to repeated blood transfusions over four days without significant improvement. Frimpong alleges that Dr. Oppong failed to investigate the underlying cause or seek specialist intervention. A referral to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital was only made on November 12 — by then, it was too late. Naomi died six hours after arrival.
Her death certificate cited severe anaemia and internal bleeding as contributing factors.
Frimpong believes the referral to Graceyard Hospital was financially motivated and accuses the facility of falling below acceptable healthcare standards. He is calling for Dr. Oppong’s medical license to be revoked and for Graceyard Hospital to be shut down by the Health Facilities Regulatory Authority.
The case is being handled by Liz-Martins Law Consult. The defendants have eight days to respond or risk a default judgment.
