Kwaku Bonsam appeals to Mahama, Ablakwa to facilitate his US travel for skin graft; says he’ll fund it

Traditional priest Nana Kwaku Bonsam has sought assistance from President John Mahama and Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Ablakwa to help him obtain the necessary documentation and visa for a trip to the United States for medical treatment. He is willing to cover all costs himself but needs help with the paperwork. Nana Kwaku urgently requires treatment for a scar on his face and hopes to undergo a skin graft at Harlem Hospital in the US.

This procedure involves transplanting healthy skin from one area of the body to cover damaged skin. His primary concern is finding a lasting solution to the wound, which has been causing sleepless nights. In a video shared on Facebook, Nana Kwaku implored the authorities to help him treat his facial wounds, stating that a skin graft could significantly improve his condition.

He previously received treatment for part of his face in the US and believes further treatment could be beneficial. Nana Kwaku has already completed a costly medication course (GH¢6,200) but reports that his condition has not improved. He clarified that he is not requesting the government to finance his medical expenses but seeks their help in securing a visa so he can access the specialized treatment he believes is necessary.

Many netizens who viewed his Facebook video mocked and doubted Nana Kwaku's claims, as he is known for asserting superhuman abilities.
