37 Military Hospital Appeals for Public Help to Identify Unclaimed Female Road Crash Victim

The 37 Military Hospital in Accra has issued an urgent public appeal for assistance in identifying a female patient who has remained unclaimed following a road traffic accident on May 15, 2026. The patient, whose identity remains a mystery, was admitted to the facility on the same day after being involved in a traumatic incident on the road. Despite receiving necessary medical attention and the best efforts of the hospital staff to locate her family, authorities have been unable to establish her identity or contact any next of kin.

According to reports from the Ghana Armed Forces Public Relations Department, the woman was brought to the emergency department by a Good Samaritan shortly after the accident occurred. While the hospital has successfully stabilized her condition and provided ongoing treatment, the lack of personal identification or family presence complicates the recovery and discharge process. The Social Welfare Unit of the 37 Military Hospital has been actively working to trace her background, but their internal investigations have so far yielded no results, leading to this formal request for community intervention.

In a bid to facilitate a reunion with her relatives, the hospital administration has released specific contact information for anyone who might recognize the patient or have knowledge of a missing person matching her circumstances. Members of the public are urged to contact Lt. Col. Sandow at 054 619 5658. Alternatively, information can be shared directly with the hospital’s radio room by calling 0302 767 691. Authorities emphasize that even the smallest detail could be crucial in helping the patient reconnect with her loved ones and ensuring she receives the necessary social support during her recuperation.

This situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by major medical facilities in Ghana when dealing with unidentified victims of road traffic accidents. Often, victims are brought in without mobile phones or national identification, leaving the hospital to manage both the clinical and social welfare needs of the patient indefinitely. The 37 Military Hospital remains committed to the patient's care but stresses that identifying her is the first step toward her long-term rehabilitation and reintegration into her community.
