\"Father<\/p>\n

A first-year female student has reportedly been denied admission to Kwahu Ridge Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in the Eastern Region due to her health condition.<\/p>\n

The 14-year-old student\u2019s father, Gideon Kissi, made the claim during an interview on\u00a0Adom FM\u2019s Dwaso Nsem<\/em><\/strong>, alleging that his daughter was turned away because she has sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kissi revealed that each crisis episode typically lasts between three and four hours when it occurs, but it happens intermittently, usually every four to six months, and most often at dawn.<\/p>\n

According to him, the school was informed about the child\u2019s medical condition when he went to collect her prospectus.<\/p>\n

School authorities allegedly instructed the family to provide her medical report upon reporting to school.<\/p>\n

However, when the student arrived at the school on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, she was allegedly denied admission.
