A Ghanaian asylum seeker has been granted the right to remain in the UK after successfully arguing that the trauma caused by his experience with COVID-19 would make it unsafe for him to return to his home country.
Winfred Kwabla Dogbey, 52, contracted COVID-19 in 2020 and developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of his severe battle with the virus, British Democrats reports.
His condition, described as "post-COVID-19 syndrome," has been recognized as a critical part of his rehabilitation following the outbreak.
The panel reviewing his case found that the mental health care system in Ghana is grossly underdeveloped, with few resources available to treat conditions like PTSD.
