The Students’ Representative Council has announced the tragic death of a Ghana School of Law student who fell ill during academic activities.
According to a statement issued by SRC President Nana Opoku Ware on Monday, March 23, the incident occurred on Saturday, March 21, while the student was attending a lecture.
The SRC reported that the student received assistance from colleagues and was promptly taken to Ridge Hospital, where despite the efforts of students and medical staff, the student succumbed to the medical emergency.
“The SRC has confirmed that the incident occurred during academic activities… our now deceased was assisted by colleagues and transported to the Ridge Hospital, where he unfortunately passed despite efforts made,” the statement said.
It expressed condolences to the bereaved family, friends, and the wider student body, describing the incident as a painful loss.
The SRC also acknowledged steps taken by school authorities to provide counselling and psychological support to affected students.
Meanwhile, the Council has reacted to claims that the school’s clinic may not have been accessible at the time of the emergency.
“The SRC notes with concern reports that the school clinic was not accessible at the time emergency care was needed. While these reports are yet to be fully established, they raise serious issues regarding student welfare and emergency response systems on campus,” the statement added.
It further called for an urgent meeting with management to establish the facts and push for reforms, including improved access to on-campus medical care, clearer emergency protocols, and investment in student health infrastructure.
“The safety, health, and well-being of students remain our utmost priority,” the council concluded.
