The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has assured that the government is prepared to consider sending Sandra Baafi Boateng, a victim of the Ghana Armed Forces recruitment stampede, abroad for specialised medical treatment if recommended by doctors.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Monday, March 9, the Minister provided an update on her condition and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting her recovery.
“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,” he said.
Ms Baafi Boateng sustained serious injuries during the recruitment exercise held on November 12, 2025, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. She initially received inpatient care under specialist supervision, with all medical expenses fully covered by the government to ease the financial burden on her and her family.
The Minister further disclosed that since February 26, 2026, she has been transferred to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra for further treatment.
He explained that she is currently receiving comprehensive care from a specialist-led multidisciplinary team, including rehabilitation and social support aimed at enhancing her recovery.
Mr Akandoh emphasised that the government is exploring all appropriate medical options, both locally and internationally, to ensure she receives the best possible care.
Reports indicate that Ms Baafi Boateng has remained bedridden since the incident during the 2025/2026 enlistment exercise.
