Samuel’s mother, Abigail Akosua Twumwaa Botchway, was a pillar of strength in the Adenta – Oyarifa School Junction community, renowned for her kindness and resilience. However, her unwavering spirit was tested when she was diagnosed with both diabetes and high blood pressure—a double blow that would come to define her battle for survival.

Determined to overcome these health challenges, Abigail Botchway embarked on a journey that combined herbal remedies with conventional medical treatment. However, the combination proved to be a double-edged sword, as the herbal concoctions, though well intentioned, interacted unfavorably with her prescribed medications, placing undue strain on her organs.

For years, Twumwaa Botchway fought valiantly, enduring the highs and lows of managing her conditions. Yet, despite her unwavering efforts, the silent grip of high blood pressure continued to tighten its hold on her health, lurking beneath the surface and eluding detection until it was too late. As her condition deteriorated, Abigail Botchway faced a relentless uphill battle, with each day bringing new challenges and setbacks. Despite the best efforts of her medical team at 37 Military Hospital and the unwavering support of her family, the damage inflicted by years of not so well treated or what some medical personnel will call it untreated hypertension proved insurmountable.
