For Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, saving lives is priceless. His empathy and commitment to humanity are unmatched.”
Rafik added that preparations for the journey began as early as 3 a.m. on Sunday to ensure Lisa was safely transported from Ridge Hospital to the airport. “Doctors are on standby in South Africa, and by God’s grace, Lisa will come back stronger,” he expressed with optimism.
For Lisa’s family, the businessman’s intervention has been a life-changing miracle.
