President John Dramani Mahama has visited Ghanaian survivors of the recent attack in Burkina Faso who are currently receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
The affected Ghanaians were among traders who had travelled across the border to purchase tomatoes when the incident occurred. Following the attack, the Government of Ghana, through the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), organised a medical evacuation to airlift the injured citizens back to Accra for urgent and specialised care.
