Ibrahim Mahama flies 10-year-old Leukemia patient to South Africa for $110,000 treatment
We thank God, Ibrahim Mahama God bless you, This man is kind-hearted. These are some of the few heart warming words that greated the internet when after Ibrahim Mahama flew the 10-year-old Leukemia patient, Lisa Laryea, to South Africa for $110,000 treatment.
Lisa Laryea was accompanied by her mother to South Africa for the treatment on Sunday Nov 24, 2024.
Leukemia is cancer of the body’s blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. It is a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leucocytes. These suppress the production of normal blood cells, leading to anaemia and other symptoms.
Aside paying for the $110,000 cost for the treatment, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama personally ensured that Lisa, accompanied by her mother were flown to South Africa via an emergency charted Air Ambulance.

“When we learned about Lisa’s condition on social media, we knew we had to step in and help. Every child deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and happy life. When it comes to saving human life, our father and boss, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama doesn’t consider the cost. He has unlimited empathy towards humanity. He gives the instructions to everyone and we work to make sure we get the job done properly. Because the flight was 6am scheduled chartered flight, I got to the Ridge hospital at 3am today, we wanted to make sure we get everything done properly, with regards to conveying Lisa from the hospital to the airport. The Doctors are on standby in South Africa. By God’s grace, Lisa ll come back stronger,” an aide to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, Rafik Mahama explained.
The young girl’s mother, overwhelmed with emotion, expressed her deep gratitude to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama.
