The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring the best possible care for Sandra Baafi Boateng, the young woman who suffered life-threatening injuries during the Ghana Armed Forces recruitment stampede at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on November 12, 2025.
Addressing Parliament, Mr. Akandoh updated Members on Ms. Baafi Boateng’s current condition and stressed that the Ministry stands ready to arrange advanced treatment abroad if her medical team deems it necessary.
“Every viable medical intervention, both within Ghana and overseas, is being considered to guarantee the highest standard of care,” he assured.
Since the incident, Ms. Baafi Boateng has been under intensive specialist care, with the state covering all medical costs to relieve her family of financial burden. After initial treatment, she was transferred on February 26, 2026, to the 37 Military Hospital, where a multidisciplinary team of specialists continues to manage her recovery.
Alongside ongoing medical attention, she is also receiving rehabilitation and psychosocial support to aid her recuperation.
Mr. Akandoh highlighted that Ms. Baafi Boateng has remained bedridden since the stampede but emphasized that the Ministry remains closely engaged with both the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and the 37 Military Hospital to ensure her care is expedited.
He concluded his remarks with a pledge to Parliament: “The Ministry of Health has remained actively engaged 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.”
