Bawumia Celebrates Recovery Of 4-Year-Old Leper He Sponsored, Describes It As His ‘Best Christmas Gift’

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has once again demonstrated the power of compassion and generosity by transforming the life of Priscilla, a four-year-old cured leper. As a Patron of Lepers Aid Ghana and a frequent visitor to the Weija Leprosarium, Dr. Bawumia met Priscilla, who was abandoned by her parents at birth due to her condition. Under the care of Father Andrew Campbell at the leprosarium, Priscilla had her leg amputated after numerous failed attempts to treat her severely affected legs.

Moved by her plight, Dr. Bawumia decided to sponsor Priscilla’s trip to Italy and cover her medical expenses. In Italy, Priscilla underwent advanced treatment for her amputated leg and was fitted with a prosthetic limb, giving her the ability to walk independently for the first time in her life.

After five months of treatment and recovery, Priscilla returned to Ghana, full of joy and gratitude. She visited Dr. Bawumia at his home to personally thank him, saying in Twi, “I’m walking for Dr. Bawumia.” Her heartfelt words left an indelible mark on the Vice President, who described her recovery as his “best Christmas gift” and expressed gratitude to God for her successful surgery.

This touching moment, captured in a viral video, has inspired many. Priscilla’s journey—from being abandoned at birth to receiving life-changing medical care and walking confidently—stands as a testament to the transformative power of kindness. Her story is a reminder of the importance of supporting the vulnerable and giving them a chance at a better life.
