The nine include doctors, nurses and social welfare staff.
They were arrested in a joint operation by EOCO and the Ghana Medical and Dental Council in December 2020 at the Ridge Hospital and the Tema General Hospital.
Two baby boys were sold at a price of GHS30,000 and GHS 28,000 respectively by the health workers in the process.
Addressing the media, Executive Director of EOCO, COP Retired Frank Adu-Poku said the suspects have currently been granted bail pending further investigations.
