You can get the police report no problem. It is valid for 6 months and I do believe that you need to get one from SA too. But, I am not 100% sure about that.
 
For the medical you will need to have your confirmation page from scheduling your appointment. If your case has been sent to Ghana from NVC you can schedule your appointment yourself before you get the letter. The letter the embassy sends from Ghana is only informational. Just go online and fill out the DS-160 application. When you finish it will give you a confirmation code. You will need that to go to GT Bank to pay the visa appointment fee. One you have paid that you can schedule your appointment online with the embassy and get your medical done. But, you first have to have your receipt confirmation code and DS-160 code before you can schedule. Hope this helps! Goodluck!

We never received our letter from the embassy in Ghana either. Through the posts here on VJ I found out that we could schedule or interview and everything without the letter from them. Our approval expires next month too. I would try emailing them and asking if that will be a problem. I emailed them and they responded the next morning.
 
If you filed your DS-160 then just go to GT Bank and pay the $265 visa fee. They will give you a receipt. You can use that receipt number and your confirmation code from submitting your DS-160 to schedule your interview online. That's what we did. You will also need to gather your police report and medical before you have your interview and will need your interview confirmation date for the medical. Hope this helps! Goodluck!

They asked my fiance for his confirmation when he went. He can always just go up there and see. It shouldnt take more than 2 weeks to get back.
