Veteran Ghanaian movie producer Socrate Safo recently weighed in on a statement made by the late gospel musician Kofi Owusu Dua Anto, also known as KODA, regarding a doctor’s misprescription that lasted eight months before KODA’s passing.

Safo highlighted the seriousness of doctors administering incorrect medication, referencing a similar case involving the late American musician Michael Jackson.

Safo emphasised that giving the wrong medication to a patient is a serious offence that should not be taken lightly.

He cited the case of Michael Jackson, where the doctor responsible for the incorrect medication was charged, found guilty, and jailed, despite the musician’s request for the medication.

“In medical terms, the offence [wrong medication prescription] is very high. You remember the trial about Michael Jackson’s death. Even though the musician asked for the injection, the doctor who did that was charged, found guilty, and even jailed.
