In a heartwarming turn of events, Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang, a student of Adventist Senior High School, who was tragically shot in the eye earlier this year, has regained her sight following a successful surgical procedure in the United Kingdom.
The life-changing operation took place on June 2, 2025, at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London — a globally renowned institution for advanced eye care.
The surgery, which many had hoped and prayed for, was fully sponsored by Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama, who stepped in to cover all travel and medical costs after the young girl’s story touched the hearts of many Ghanaians.
From Tragedy to Triumph: Suzzy’s Recovery Journey
Suzzy’s story first captured national attention when it was reported that the promising student had been injured by a gunshot under circumstances that remain under investigation. The injury affected one of her eyes, leaving her partially blind and in need of specialized medical intervention not readily available in Ghana.
The emotional weight of the story drew attention from across the country, sparking public outcry and an outpouring of sympathy. But it was the swift intervention of philanthropist and industrialist Ibrahim Mahama that truly turned the tide.
Recognizing the urgency and complexity of Suzzy’s condition, Mr. Mahama made the necessary arrangements to have her flown to the UK, where she was admitted to Moorfields Eye Hospital — a facility known for its excellence in eye surgery and post-operative care.

Surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital – A New Beginning
On June 2, 2025, Suzzy underwent a delicate and intricate procedure performed by a team of specialists at the London-based hospital. According to medical experts, the surgery involved reconstructive work and retinal treatment to restore vision in the injured eye.
A statement released by Rafik Mahama, the aide to Ibrahim Mahama, confirmed that the surgery was successful and that Suzzy has begun seeing on her own again. He added that she is recovering steadily under professional supervision and is expected to return to Ghana once her recovery phase is complete.
Gratitude and Support from the Family
Suzzy’s family, overjoyed by the successful outcome, extended deep appreciation to all who contributed to the journey — especially Ibrahim Mahama. In their statement, they also acknowledged the efforts of medical teams in both Ghana and the UK, government officials, the media, and the public whose collective support, prayers, and encouragement kept their daughter’s hope alive.
“Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude. Suzzy’s life has been transformed. She can see again, and that alone is a miracle,” one family member noted.
A Symbol of Hope and Humanity
Suzzy’s story is more than just a medical success — it is a testament to the power of compassion, generosity, and community support. The fact that a young Ghanaian girl, injured under such tragic circumstances, was able to travel abroad and receive world-class treatment thanks to the benevolence of a private citizen speaks volumes.
It also reflects the need for improved healthcare infrastructure in Ghana, especially in the area of specialized surgeries and trauma response. While the country boasts excellent doctors and nurses, many cases like Suzzy’s still require foreign intervention due to resource limitations.
Ibrahim Mahama’s Ongoing Commitment to Social Good
This is not the first time Ibrahim Mahama has intervened in critical health cases. Known for his philanthropic initiatives in education, health, and infrastructure, Mr. Mahama continues to make a lasting impact in the lives of ordinary Ghanaians. His gesture toward Suzzy reaffirms his status as not just a successful entrepreneur, but a true humanitarian.
Looking Forward: Education and Recovery
With her vision restored, Suzzy is expected to continue her academic journey. Plans are reportedly in place to ensure that she receives full psychological and academic support upon her return to Ghana. Her determination, paired with the support of well-wishers and stakeholders, makes her a beacon of resilience for many students across the country.
The successful surgery and recovery of Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang is a story of hope, faith, and the impact of collective kindness. As she looks forward to resuming her life and education, her journey will remain a symbol of how grace and goodwill can triumph even in the darkest moments.
