Four-year-old Waldron Sedinam Dzilah has expressed his profound gratitude to Ghanaian business mogul and owner of Engineers & Planners Company Limited (E&P), Ibrahim Mahama, for stepping in to cover the full cost of his medical treatment.
JoyNews reporter Carlos Calony had highlighted Sedinam's story and how the 4-year-old had been battling scoliosis since birth and needed urgent financial support for surgery.
Following the report, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama generously offered to fully fund the procedure. In a remarkable gesture, he also provided employment for Sedinam’s parents.
In a recent interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show, Sedinam and his parents expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Mr. Mahama’s kindness.
When asked if he knew who Ibrahim Mahama was, Sedinam replied, “No.” However, when asked if he knew his medical bills had been paid, he confidently said, “Yes.” Asked what he would say if he met the man who funded his treatment, Sedinam sweetly responded, “I’ll tell him thank you.”
His father, Frank Dzilah, also expressed deep appreciation to Mr. Mahama and the JoyNews reporter, stating that their support had ended the family’s financial struggle and restored joy to their lives.
“I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you to Carlos Calony for coming to our aid by covering the story on him and also to all who donated especially Ibrahim Mahama for taking care of the financial side of the surgery. We’re so thankful to him,” He expressed.

Mr. Dzilah stated that the doctor scheduled to perform the surgery explained that a permanent procedure cannot be done at Sedinam’s current age. However, a growing rod will be implanted and adjusted every four years to prevent the condition from worsening before he reaches the appropriate age for permanent surgery.
“Dr. Yankey said he cannot do a permanent surgery on him because of his age. They’ll have to wait till he’s above ten (10) years thus around twelve (12) years. But if they leave him like this, the curve will continue and it will be very worse. They’ll put a growing rod from the beginning that is replaceable after four years. So, after four years, he’ll be 8 years and they’ll do another one.”
