An yet-to-be identified man who can be likened to a good Samaritan has footed the medical bills of six stranded women at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana.
According to a Human Rights Advocate, Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, he shared that his friend who recently arrived Ghana visited the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and was saddened at the state of these unfamiliar women.
Apparently the ladies who had delivered new babies were being held by the hospital for unpaid bills, He found it quite worrisome and then decided to do something about it.
His friend donated GHC5,000 (N334,714.54) to defray the debts of the women.
“He paid 5,000 GHS for six women he does not know from anywhere and they were soon discharged,” Chris-Vincent disclosed.
Chris-Vincent added that his friend described ” the joy on the faces of those women, as never seen.” His friend, however, wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor keeps widening in Ghana without any real government social interventions to cushion the poor.
He further quizzed why women after childbirth become stranded in a government hospital because they cannot pay their delivery bills and yet there is a National Health Insurance scheme said to be in place.
