Angered by the outrageous bills charged by the Ondo State Specialist Hospital in Akure, hundreds of pregnant women on Thursday marched on the medical institution.
According to various online post, the OSSHA had introduced a new charge of ₦25,000 for normal delivery.
The women, who argued that normal delivery and including cesarean section were free under ex-Governor Olusegun Mimiko administration, urged Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to urgently reverse the charges.
