Renowned philanthropist and businessman, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, has come to the aid of a young Ghanaian girl, Suzzy Pinamang, who is in urgent need of specialized medical treatment for a severe eye condition.
Following an expert assessment at Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital in Accra on Monday, May 5, 2025, arrangements have been made—on Mr. Mahama’s instructions—for Suzzy to be flown to the United Kingdom for emergency care.
Although the full details of Suzzy’s condition remain private, the swift decision to refer her abroad underscores the seriousness of her situation and the urgency of the required intervention.
According to a statement from a source close to Mr. Mahama, the businessman has committed to covering all medical costs associated with Suzzy’s treatment—both in Ghana and overseas. This includes diagnostic tests, surgery, post-operative care, and travel arrangements.
Suzzy’s case is believed to have gained public attention through social media or community advocacy, drawing the attention of Mr. Mahama, who is widely known for his philanthropic work and responsiveness to humanitarian needs.
The timely intervention offers renewed hope to Suzzy and her family as she prepares to undergo the life-changing procedure abroad.
Background
Suzzy is a student of Bantama SDA Senior High School. She was tragically involved in an accident leading to the loss of her eyesight. She was accidentally shot in the face by a male classmate.
The incident occurred during a mathematics class on Friday, April 4, 2025, when the student reportedly brought a firearm to school and began displaying it to others.
According to Suzzy, the weapon discharged unintentionally, hitting her in the face and causing severe injury that ultimately resulted in blindness.
The tragic incident has sparked national concern over student safety, illegal firearm possession, and the need for stricter school security protocols.
