Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama has extended a helping hand to Lisa Laryea, a ten-year-old student battling with stage four acute myeloid leukemia.
The Ghanaian billionaire was left touched by Lisa’s brave battle, thus paying $110,000 for her to undergo treatment in South Africa.
Lisa was on admission at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, better known as Ridge Hospital, before being accompanied by her mother as they jetted to South Africa via charted Air Ambulance on Sunday, November 24, 2024.
Rafik Mahama, an aide to the business mogul, explained how he was touched by Lisa’s health situation when it made waves on social media.
“”When we learned about Lisa’s condition on social media, we knew we had to step in and help. Every child deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and happy life. When it comes to saving human life, our father and boss, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama doesn’t consider the cost.
He has unlimited empathy towards humanity. He gives the instructions to everyone and we work to make sure we get the job done properly. Because the flight was 6am scheduled chartered flight, I got to the Ridge hospital at 3am today, we wanted to make sure we get everything done properly, with regards to conveying Lisa from the hospital to the airport.
The Doctors are on standby in South Africa. By God’s grace, Lisa will come back stronger.”
