President John Dramani Mahama has raised concerns over the rising rates of HIV infections among Ghanaian youth, calling for a bold, youth-driven national response to the issue.
He described the trend as 'deeply worrying and avoidable'.
Speaking at the launch of Ghana's 2025 Voluntary National Review of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, President Mahama said the increasing HIV prevalence among the youth highlights serious lapses in communication, education, and support systems. "We are also alarmed by the rising HIV rates, especially amongst our young people.
This points to a failure in communications, stigma, and limited access to sexual health education", he stated.
