He was diagnosed at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in 2021. The lecturer, unable to raise the money on his own, has appealed to the general public for support.

However, a nurse came into the consulting room with a wheelchair, and that was when it dawned on him that his condition was critical.

“That was when I understood the gravity of what was happening,” Atawura said.

The 33-year-old lecturer said he got a donor in 2023 and met all the requirements at Max Healthcare in India. He, therefore, appealed to everybody to support him financially.

“I am appealing to corporate Ghana, I’m appealing to churches, I’m appealing to NGOs [to help me],” Atawura said.
