The Medical Women Association of Ghana (MWAG) has pledged to provide medical support to students affected by allegations of sexual misconduct involving the headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS).
The association is also calling for confidential medical and psychological services, legal assistance and protection for the students as investigations into the allegations continue.
In a statement dated Wednesday, October 21, 2026, MWAG said, “The Medical Women Association are committed to doing our part in providing medical support to the victims.”
It stressed the need to protect the identities of the students and ensure their education continues without disruption.
“Protection and care for affected students. Government, using the relevant agencies and professionals, must provide confidential medical and psychological services, legal assistance, and protection for the students involved. Students’ identities must be safeguarded and the continuity of their education must be assured. The Medical Women Association are committed to doing our part in providing medical support to the victims,” the statement said.
MWAG also called for prompt and independent investigations by the police and relevant child protection agencies, adding that prosecutions should follow where evidence supports the allegations.
The association urged the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ministry of Education to strengthen school safeguarding policies and establish confidential reporting channels to protect students from victimisation.
“To every girl who has experienced abuse: You deserve to be safe, heard, and supported. Your dignity, education, and future matter. You are not alone. Speak out now,” the association said.
The allegations gained public attention following journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni’s investigative documentary, ‘Inside the Dreaded Headmaster’s Bungalow’.
The GES has interdicted the headmaster pending investigations, while the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service is handling the criminal aspect of the allegations. The claims have not been established in court.
MWAG urged stakeholders not to trivialise the matter, saying, “We urge all stakeholders not to trivialise these allegations or sweep them under the carpet. We must pursue justice and respect the rights of all involved.”
