The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has dismissed as false reports circulating in the media that suggest about 60 per cent of applicants failed military medical screening due to HIV infection.

In a statement, Acting Director-General of Public Relations, Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin (Ghana Navy), described the story as “FAKE NEWS” and urged the public to disregard it.

She stressed that the medical screening process is ongoing and that no official results have yet been declared.

“The Ghana Armed Forces is taking steps to trace the originators of this mischievous publication,” the statement said, urging media practitioners, bloggers, and content creators to verify facts before publication.

GAF reiterated that only official communications should be relied upon for information about recruitment and medical assessments.
