The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has arranged travel documentation for Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang, a senior high school student wounded in a classroom shooting, to receive specialized medical care in the United Kingdom.

She will be accompanied by two caregivers, who have also been granted UK visas.

Announcing the development via Facebook, Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa revealed that Ghana’s diplomatic mission in the UK has been tasked with offering additional support during their stay.

“The Ghana High Commission in the UK has been instructed to provide special consular privileges to Suzzy and her caregivers,” he said.

Mr. Ablakwa also extended gratitude to businessman Ibrahim Mahama, who is funding the entire cost of Suzzy’s overseas treatment.

The injured student, currently in her second year at Adventist Senior High School in Bantama, Ashanti Region, suffered severe trauma to her eye after a fellow student reportedly discharged a firearm he had brought into the classroom on April 4, 2025.

Medical experts at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital assessed the damage and recommended an urgent procedure that could not be performed locally.

In his message, Mr. Ablakwa commended the young student for her resilience and urged her to remain hopeful.

“Suzzy is such a brave girl. We encourage her not to give up and to stay strong throughout this process,” he said.
