Silva Lady’s Birthday: Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals to Offer Free Skin & Dental Screening on September 6
The health initiative, taking place at the Adabraka forecourt of Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals, forms part of Silva Lady’s role as Brand Ambassador and her commitment to community wellness.

Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals has announced a free skin and dental screening exercise in celebration of the birthday of media personality, philanthropist, and Brand Ambassador for the company Silva Lady, which falls on September 7th. The initiative will take place on Saturday, September 6, at the forecourt of Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals in Adabraka, Accra (behind the Franko Trading Enterprise building), beginning promptly at 7:00 AM.
The event is designed to encourage Ghanaians to prioritise preventive healthcare, offering families, children, and individuals the opportunity to undergo professional skin and dental checks at no cost.
The program is expected to attract residents from across Accra and beyond, with medical professionals on hand to provide comprehensive skin and dental check-ups. Organisers believe the exercise will help create awareness about the importance of preventive healthcare, especially at a time when many overlook routine medical checks due to busy schedules or financial constraints.

The management of Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals has emphasised its commitment to corporate social responsibility and community support. Partnering with its Brand Ambassador, offering this free exercise is a way of giving back to society.
Members of the public are encouraged to share the information and take advantage of this opportunity. For further inquiries, individuals can contact 0243150609 or 0561886515.
The free health screening exercise not only highlights Silva Lady’s dedication to social impact but also reinforces Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals’ mission of promoting wellness in Ghanaian communities.
Come one, come all, let’s make health a priority while we celebrate Silva Lady’s birthday.
ROYAL BEAUTY BRAND AMBASSADOR.

Ridge Nurse Drags Social Media Influencer to Court, Demands GHS 7m for Assault and Defamation
Rejoice Tsotso Bortei, a nurse at Ridge Hospital, has taken social media personality Ralph Saint Williams, popularly known as Ralph De Fellow Ghanaian, to court after accusing him of physically assaulting her and damaging her reputation online.
The civil suit, filed at the Accra High Court on August 20, 2025, seeks a total of GHS 7 million in damages — GHS 5 million for assault and GHS 2 million for defamation.
According to her lawyers, Bortei was attacked on August 17 during a chaotic incident involving relatives of a patient. She claims the assault left her with a dislocated shoulder and a hand injury, making it difficult for her to work.
The nurse also says Ralph worsened the situation by going public with defamatory comments, calling her a “liar” and accusing her of faking her injuries to cover up alleged issues at the hospital.
Bortei is asking the court to order Ralph to:
Apologize and retract his comments publicly.
Stop making further defamatory remarks.
Stay at least 50 meters away from her.
Pay legal fees and other costs.
The court has given Ralph eight days to respond to the suit or risk judgment being entered against him.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has tasked a new committee with investigating the rising cases of assault on nurses and health workers at Ridge Hospital, giving them one week to present their findings.
