19-year-old new mom, detained by hospital over unsettled bills, gets N70,000 donation
The Women Advocate Research and Documentation Centre, Lagos, on Sunday, donated the sum of N70,000 to Blessing Abosede, the 19-year-old new mom detained at a hospital in Ilesa, Osun State over her inability to settle her N150,000 bill.
WuzupNigeria reports that Abosede has been at the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, where she was delivered of a baby through caesarean section since May 4, 2020.
She was held by the hospital but was later discharged after 15 days when her grandmother, Adunni Olukunle, paid N70,000 to the hospital.
Olukunle told our correspondent on Sunday that she borrowed the N70,000 to pay the hospital.
She added that the WARDC sent its representative to the family on Sunday and gave the new mother the sum of N70,000.
The representative of the WARDC, Abiodun Ayansiji, who made the donation on behalf of the Executive Director of the organisation, Dr Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, said the organisation would continue to place on the front burner matters affecting women.
