She also spoke about the lack of support from the government, explaining how her attempts to reach an unnamed minister of state proved futile.
"The minister no longer picked my calls, and the thing is that if not because my daughter is in this condition, I would not bother getting into contact with the minister. But this is the situation now. Is this fair? We have been neglected."
Mercy Boateng, enveloped in sorrow, expressed optimism that with the necessary treatment, her daughter would get better.
She then appealed to the business mogul and the brother of the President, Ibrahim Mahama, to come to the aid of her ailing daughter.
"Please, I want to appeal to Ibrahim Mahama to come to our aid and help us. Ghanaians should help us because I know that my daughter can get the treatment she deserves and get better."
