The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has called on President Mahama to institute a presidential committee to investigate the circumstances that led to the death of the late President Mills.

The GMA says such investigations will put to rest the various speculations and accounts of the sequence of events that led to the death of the President.

Some Ghanaians including pressure group, AFAG have already called for a public disclosure of a coroner’s report on the cause of the President’s death.

Speaking to XYZ News, the President of the GMA, Dr. Adusei Poku explained that the Association’s call is to enable the country put in place proper medical and security procedures to avert the recurrence of any possible negligence that might have led to the death of the late President.
