Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang, the second-year student of Adventist Senior High School in Bantama who was accidentally shot in the eye by a classmate, has arrived in the United Kingdom to undergo emergency medical treatment.
Suzzy touched down in the UK on Saturday, May 10, 2025, accompanied by a caregiver, who is a brother to Suzzy. She is also joined by Rafik Mahama, the special aide to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, who is sponsoring the entire cost of her travel and medical treatment.
This follows a recommendation from doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi and Agarwal Eye Hospital in Accra, who confirmed that she had sustained severe injuries to her eye and required urgent specialist care abroad.
Her journey and treatment have been made possible through the swift intervention by Mr. Ibrahim Mahama whose sponsorship ensures that all travel and treatment-related expenses will be borne without placing financial pressure on Suzzy’s family and also Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and British High Commissioner to Ghana, Her Excellency Harriet Thompson. Ablakwa facilitated the visa documentation process.
He also directed the Ghana High Commission in the UK to provide Suzzy with special consular assistance and privileges during her stay, to ease her transition and ensure she receives the highest standard of support.
Ablakwa confirmed the successful visa acquisition and travel arrangements via an official statement on his Facebook page on Thursday, May 8, 2025.
