Ghana AIDS Commission Raises Alarm Over Rising HIV Infections Among Youth

Ghana recorded an estimated 15,290 new HIV infections and 12,614 AIDS-related deaths in 2024. The Ghana AIDS Commission released the figures, which have reignited urgent calls from government and health officials to step up the fight against the epidemic.

At the launch of the 2024 HIV and AIDS Estimates and Projections in Accra on Thursday, July 3, Deputy Chief of Staff at the Presidency, Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, urged stakeholders to act swiftly. She described the statistics as a wake-up call and pressed for equitable resource distribution and targeted regional strategies to bridge service delivery gaps.

“We cannot ignore the hard truth—over twelve thousand Ghanaians lost their lives to AIDS last year,” she stressed. “We must channel resources fairly and respond to the specific needs of each region to effectively tackle the crisis.”

The report also estimates that 334,721 people are currently living with HIV in Ghana. The national prevalence rate among adults aged 15 to 49 stands at 1.49 percent. Officials say the data remains crucial for health planning and international reporting.

Nana Oye reaffirmed the government’s commitment to sustaining the national HIV response. She said the administration is working to secure both domestic and alternative funding sources to avoid disruptions in life-saving interventions.
