Family appeals for gov’t help to repatriate remains of Ghanaian woman who died in China
The family of Mercy Yaaba Bredu, a Ghanaian woman who died in China shortly after travelling there to pursue a master’s degree, has appealed to the government and relevant authorities to help bring her remains back home for burial.
The family of Mercy Yaaba Bredu, a 24-year-old Ghanaian woman who passed away in China shortly after arriving to pursue a master's degree, has reached out to the government and relevant authorities for assistance in repatriating her remains. Bredu had recently finished her national service in Winneba before travelling to China on August 24, after securing a scholarship to continue her studies.
Her family had noted she was in good health when they accompanied her to the airport, and she appeared healthy to university classmates at the University of Education, Winneba. Bredu collapsed at a Chinese airport and was hospitalized; she was confirmed dead on August 26, two days after leaving Ghana. Her elder sister Maame Yaaba expressed the family's devastation over the sudden loss and the urgent need for government and other authorities' support.
The family is hoping for intervention from government officials, diplomatic representatives, and other organizations to help navigate the necessary procedures in China and facilitate the return of Bredu's remains.
