Eighteen-year-old Edward Elorm Gbanaglo can now focus on attaining his dream of training at the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ho in the Volta Region to become a medical doctor.
This follows the decision by the Managing Director of Abyak Pharma Ltd, Mr Thomas Mensah, to pay off the remaining five years tuition fees at the medical school for Elorm, amounting to GH¢50,000.
The amount complements an amount of GH¢2,000 he had presented earlier as his contribution towards the education of the medical student and brings his total contribution to GH¢52,000.

The dream of an 18-year-old orphan of becoming a doctor in the future is being dashed for lack of finances to pursue his education at the medical school.
Edward Elorm Gbanaglo, who completed Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC) with seven A1s and two B2s, has gained admission to the University of Health and Allied Sciences at Ho in the Volta Region but managed to pay his admission fees with the help of his late mother’s friends.
However, Elorm, who defied all odds to make the excellent grades, fears he might not be able to complete the programme because he does not have a constant source of funding.
