Haruna Iddrisu funds fourth life-saving surgery for six-year-old at KATH
Haruna Iddrisu has funded a fourth life-saving surgery for Abdula Hannan at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) following a prolonged medical condition. The procedure, scheduled for March 25, 2026, is estimated to cost $25,000 (approximately GH¢300,000). This is the latest in a series of surgeries the child has undergone over the past four years.
Abdula Hannan accidentally drank a soda-based chemical substance at the age of two, resulting in severe internal injuries. He has undergone three separate surgeries as doctors worked to stabilise his condition. Rafia Hajiah Rashida, a representative of the minister, said, "Since that day, the little boy has undergone three successful surgeries under the sponsorship of Hon. Haruna Iddrisu. The fourth surgery, which is taking place today, costs about $25,000." The boy's parents, Abdula Ibrahim Antwi and Seidu Kashifa, expressed deep gratitude to the MP for his continued support. The father said, "Without Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, we would not have been able to afford our son's medical care."
The upcoming surgery is expected to be a critical step towards restoring the child's ability to eat independently and improving his overall quality of life. The minister remains committed to supporting post-surgery care to help the child regain the ability to eat normally through his mouth.
