Dr Samuel Boateng, who is in charge of Medical Stores at the GHS, made the revelation on Accra-based Joy FM Tuesday night.
This exposes the GHS to potentially millions of dollars in losses.
According to Dr Boateng, the GHS attempted to get the store insured, but insurance firms did not show interest.
The Central Medical Stores, which is located in Tema in the Greater Accra region, is the biggest drug storage and distribution outlet in Ghana.
Officials of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) have been battling for nine hours to contain and put out the fire.
