According to him, the medical procedures for Suzzy’s recovery have only just begun in the UK.
“She has not yet undergone surgery. We remain optimistic and confident that the surgery will be successful. It is not true that she has already had the surgery and recovered — that is too soon. We are still in the process leading up to the surgery,” Rafik Mahama stated in a post on his Facebook wall on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
He expressed hope that Suzzy will recover well after the procedure.
“Please note, we will provide updates to the public as soon as there is a significant development after the surgery. Moorfields Eye Hospital is renowned as one of the best eye hospitals in the world, and we are strongly confident that Suzzy will be well after the surgery. We sincerely thank everyone for the ongoing support and prayers for Suzzy and her family during this time,” the statement concluded.
Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang arrived in the United Kingdom on Saturday, May 10, 2025, to undergo emergency medical treatment.
She was accompanied by her brother, who is serving as her caregiver, and Rafik Mahama, the special aide to businessman and philanthropist Mr. Ibrahim Mahama.
Mr. Ibrahim Mahama is covering the full cost of her travel and treatment, following recommendations from specialists at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi and Agarwal Eye Hospital in Accra. Doctors confirmed that the extent of damage to her eye required urgent specialist intervention abroad.
The timely intervention by Mr. Mahama has ensured that Suzzy’s family bears no financial burden, allowing her to access world-class care without delay.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa oversaw the visa documentation process and directed the Ghana High Commission in the UK to extend special consular assistance and privileges to Suzzy during her stay.
He confirmed the successful completion of her travel arrangements via an official statement on Thursday, May 8, 2025.
