Ghanaians have been thrown into mourning following a report of the death of Adelheid Babatz Nyarko London, a senior midwife and lawyer who is reported to have passed away on Sunday, August 17, 2025, after a short illness.

She recently made headlines when she achieved the remarkable feat of being called to the Ghana Bar in May 2025, adding law to her already accomplished healthcare career.

Her sudden death has sparked an outpouring of grief on social media, where many Ghanaians described her as an inspiration whose life was cut short too soon.

One tribute read, "Our condolences to the family of our dear sister, Adelheid Nyarko London. We remember her for the outstanding feat of being called to the Bar, in addition to her existing profession as a midwife. Daughter of Asante Mampong and Kumawu, due ne amanehunu."

Another mourner reflected on the painful contrast between her recent celebration and untimely passing, "Just months ago, the world celebrated her achievement of being admitted to the Ghana Bar. Today, we mourn her. Very disheartening news. Rest well, Adelheid."

"I remember her inspirational story. What happened to her? Too many young people dying. Asem ooo," a former Chief Executive of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah
lamented.
