Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Found in the 2026 MDC Permanent Register - Specialists (Members), entry 62 (Acquah, Harry); registered specialty is Paediatrics and Child Health, which does not match the clinic's aesthetic-medicine service line. [mdc-members] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the 2026 MDC Permanent Register - Specialists (Members), entry 62 (Acquah, Harry; Presby Hospital, Box 47, Dormaa Ahenkro; M.B. Ch.B (U.G.M.S), Qual. 2015, Reg. 2017) — the same entry already cited for M1. The doctor is not separately listed in the General register (searched, zero rows for "Acquah, Harry"), but the Members Permanent Register is itself a statutory register under section 39 of the Health Professions Regulatory Bodies Act, 2013 (Act 857), and specialist certification presupposes underlying medical registration; the gazette carries no licence number.

OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Matched in the Oct-2025 HeFRA valid-licence list, entry 1225: ESTAR PHARMA & MEDICAL AESTHETICS CENTER LTD, Adentan Municipal, Trassaco, licence valid to 11/30/2026. [hefra] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. Matched by name: 'ESTAR PHARMA & MEDICAL AESTHETICS CENTER LTD', Company Limited by Shares, in the ORC business-name register. [orc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Soft superlatives on the clinic's own site ('the premier medical aesthetic pharmacy'). [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk/contraindication, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route content found on the clinic's site (homepage, About Us, Before-and-After and Dermatology/services pages checked). [site] |

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
