The procedure is expected to take place at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <strong>Citinewsroom.com<\/strong>, Millicent\u2019s mother, Madam Peace Quatewo, shared the challenges her daughter is facing, emphasizing the urgent appeal for financial support from Ghanaians, philanthropists, organizations, and individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Peace Quatewo also expressed how Millicent\u2019s health condition has disrupted her education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer illness began as a regular fever and body aches. It was identified as a heart disease at Battor Hospital 2 years ago, where it could be managed. She had a relapse when we visited the 37 Military Hospital, where she was diagnosed with damaged heart valves in December 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were informed that she would need surgery to regain her health. Her education has been halted due to her illness. She was admitted to OLA Girls\u2019 Senior High School, and we were in the process of requesting a transfer to Keta Senior High School when her condition worsened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the moment, I am financially drained.
