To help him better communicate and avoid unwanted body movements, nurses who took care of Ofori created Chinese-English posters, illustrated with pictures. The graphic contains words relevant to patients' everyday lives such as "cold", "warm", "thirsty", or "time" which only requires the patients to point with their fingers.

During his treatment, hospital staff also helped Ofori apply for an extension to his stay in China.

Luckily, Ofori was out of danger after eight days of treatment and attentive care from medical workers. After being discharged, he went back to Ghana for further treatment with a medical record given by Chen Chu in English.

"I feel so much love in China," Ofori said, "and that's why I fell in love with the country."
