According to a report by Mask Blog on Instagram, the surgery, estimated at $40,000, is expected to be carried out in India. Further details, including the exact date of the procedure, are yet to be announced.
The 13-year-old boy’s family had earlier appealed to the public for financial support after indicating they were unable to raise the required funds for the critical surgery.
The single mother, Janet Kumi, in a report earlier filed and published by ghonetv on Instagram, explained that her son was born prematurely and has battled health challenges throughout his life.
Over the years, he was diagnosed with a urinary condition that worsened over time.
The Grade 7 pupil, according to the mother and a doctor, has been undergoing dialysis three times a week at the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where doctors continue to monitor his condition closely.
The reported intervention by Ibrahim Mahama has since drawn attention, with many describing it as a timely act of support for the young boy and his family.
