The second-year student of Adventist Senior High School in Bantama, Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang, has arrived in the UK for her medical treatment after a classmate accidentally shot her in the eye.

Reports suggest that Suzzy Pinamang arrived in the UK on Saturday, May 10, 2025, accompanied by two other people.

In a video on X, she was accompanied by her brother and Rafik Mahama, the special aide to Ghanaian business mogul Ibrahim Mahama.

President John Mahama’s brother, Ibrahim Mahama, is paying for the entire cost of Suzzy Pinamang’s travel and medical treatment.

The second-year student’s plight got the needed attention from Ibrahim Mahama and other Ghanaian politicians after doctors from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi and Agarwal Eye Hospital in Accra assessed her and recommended that she travel abroad for specialist care.

In a post on X, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, indicated that the MP for Bantama, Francis Asenso-Boakye, first brought Suzy’s plight to his attention and requested his intervention as Minister following the accidental gunshot by her classmate.

He appreciated all others who helped to secure Suzzy's visa so she could travel for medical treatment.

“I wish to express profound gratitude to UK High Commissioner, Her Excellency Harriet Thompson, who has been extremely helpful pursuant to my urgent appeal to her on compassionate grounds. It is also in order to convey heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, who has generously decided to cover the entire cost of Madam Pinamang’s medical treatment in the UK.”

“I have also instructed the Ghana High Commission in the UK to extend special consular privileges when she arrives in the UK,” he added.

"In fact, we are rendering our hospitals and doctors useless and wasteful if people cannot access good healthcare in Ghana. Our government officials and prominent people are not receiving healthcare here, but overseas is evidence that we don't have doctors and good health facilities."
