Health Sector Faces Unprovable Accuracy Standard

This provision requires businesses in health sectors (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, wellness, telemedicine) to prove the accuracy of any public health statement if challenged, reversing the normal burden of proof. Combined with vague standards like "unverified" and "unsubstantiated," this creates unpredictable legal liability that cannot be adequately managed through compliance programs. A competitor or government official can trigger proceedings forcing a business to prove accuracy of marketing claims, product descriptions, or public statements—an impossible standard for emerging therapies, evolving medical consensus, or forward-looking statements. This deters investment in Ghana's health sector and creates competitive disadvantage versus businesses in neighboring countries operating under normal legal standards.
