Bawumia sponsors 5-year old Priscilla, a cured leper, for medical treatment in Italy

The Vice President of the Republic, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has paid for the full treatment of Priscilla, a cured leper who is five years old, to continue her medical treatment in Italy.

Priscilla, who is currently at the Weija Leprosarium, leaves Accra for Italy on Tuesday, 30 July 2024 for a medical procedure on her amputated leg after many unsuccessful operations in Ghana.

Reverend Father Campbell learned about Priscilla who had been abandoned by her parents as a child with leprosy and brought her under his care at his Weija Leprosarium.

The presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party who happens to be a Patron of Lepers Aid Ghana, met Priscilla in her condition and instantaneously took a liking to her.

With virtually no treatment options for Priscilla in the country, Vice President Bawumia offered to sponsor her medical treatment in the largest Children’s hospital in the Italian capital, Rome.

Dr Bawumia has expressed his gratitude to the Italian Ambassador and staff of the Italian Embassy for their efforts and assistance in facilitating Priscilla’s trip abroad.

“Let’s remember little Priscilla in our prayers and wish her a successful medical procedure in the days ahead” Dr. Bawumia said when he met Father Campbell, Priscilla and the other staff at the Weija Leprosarium.
