The Member of Parliament for Madina, Dr. Francis-Xavier Sosu, is reported to be in stable condition and recovering well following a medical emergency on Tuesday, September 24, 2026. The incident occurred while the lawmaker was delivering a keynote address at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA). Dr. Sosu, known for his active legislative and advocacy work, was speaking on the theme of servant leadership when he appeared to lose his balance and collapsed, causing immediate concern among the students and faculty in attendance.

Eyewitness accounts and video footage from the event captured the moment the MP began to look disoriented before being assisted by bystanders. The speech was abruptly halted as staff and students rushed to provide first aid and ensure his safety. Following the incident, Dr. Sosu was transported to a medical facility where he received urgent clinical attention. His office has since confirmed that the intervention was successful and that he is responding positively to treatment, though the specific cause of the sudden collapse has not yet been disclosed to the public.

The statement expressed deep appreciation for the swift assistance provided by the GIMPA community and the outpouring of support from across the country. "The Member of Parliament is doing well and has received the necessary medical attention. We want to assure all well-wishers and the people of Madina that he is in good health," the office noted, seeking to quell rising anxiety over his condition.

Amidst the incident, the MP's office also issued a strong warning against the spread of unverified information and speculation on social media. They urged the public to rely solely on official communication channels for updates regarding Dr. Sosu’s health and scheduled return to duty. As the lawmaker continues his recovery, further updates are expected to be provided, ensuring transparency while maintaining the MP’s privacy during his recuperation period.
