Government ready to send GAF recruitment stampede victim abroad for treatment – Health Minister


Accra, March 9, – Government is prepared to send Ms Sandra Baafi Boateng, a victim of the Ghana Armed Forces recruitment exercise stampede, abroad for specialised treatment if recommended by medical experts.

Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Minister for Health, disclosed this in Parliament on Monday while providing an update on the victim’s medical condition.

He said the Ministry of Health was working closely with the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to ensure that Ms Baafi Boateng received the necessary specialist care.

“Mr Speaker, I wish to assure this Honourable House that the Ministry of Health has remained actively engaged with Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to ensure that Ms Sandra Baafi Boateng receives the requisite specialist care and that every necessary step is being taken to expedite her treatment and recovery,” the Minister said.

He added that government was exploring all appropriate medical options, both locally and internationally, to guarantee the best possible treatment for the victim.

Ms Baafi Boateng sustained serious injuries during the recruitment exercise held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on November 12, 2025.

She has been receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital since February 26, 2026, with government covering all her medical expenses.
