Parents and relatives of victims of the tragic stampede at El-Wak Stadium have called on the government to implement proper recruitment procedures, following the admission of two more injured applicants to the 37 Military Hospital.
Speaking during a visit to the victims on Thursday, November 14, Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, described the condition of the patients as “fairly stable” and assured families that the government would provide full support to both the victims and the bereaved.
She further emphasised the need for special consideration for women in future recruitment exercises.
“We must ensure fairness and prevent such incidents from recurring. The safety of all applicants is paramount,” Minister Lartey said.
Hospital authorities confirmed that three patients remain in the Intensive Care Unit, while two others have been transferred to a regular ward for continued treatment.
Although most are responding well, no patient has yet been discharged.
