Suzy Adwoa Pinamang and two caregivers have successfully obtained visas for a medical visit to the United Kingdom, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
Ibrahim Mahama is a benefactor who is funding the entire trip. In Ghana’s Ashanti Region, Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang is a second-year Bantama Adventist Senior High School student.
Bernard Amoabeng, a student, unfortunately shot her in the eye on April 4, 2025, during a break-time incident involving a handgun brought to school. Her eye injuries from the bullet left her permanently blind, in excruciating agony, and in need of specialized medical care.
Suzzy and her family had to deal with several difficulties after the tragedy, including the Ghana Education Service’s and the school administration’s initial lack of assistance. Following widespread media coverage of her predicament, Ghanaian philanthropist and businessman Ibrahim Mahama decided to pay for her medical treatment.
In a statement issued today, Minister Ablakwa also instructed the Ghana High Commission in the UK to offer the family special consular services upon their arrival, guaranteeing smooth assistance for their medical treatment overseas.
This program demonstrates the government’s dedication to providing Ghanaians with essential healthcare access, supported by the generosity of the private sector.
Additional information on the travel and treatment plans has not yet been made public.
