Vice President Bawumia, who is also a Patron of Lepers Aid Ghana and a frequent visitor to the Weija Leprosarium, met Priscilla and decided to assist her by funding her trip and medical cost in Italy for a special procedure to fix a special prosthetics for her.
After a 5-month stay in Italy for the procedure and recovery at one of the best facilities in the world, the young girl can finally walk again.

Dr. Bawumia shared the exciting scene on his Facebook page, describing the moment as a “Christmas gift” for him and shouted “to God be the glory”.
