As part of his annual Christmas party for kids on admission at the Eastern Regional Hospital, the Member of Parliament for New Juaben South Constituency in the Eastern Region, Michael Okyere Kofi Baafi put smile on their faces by settling their hospital bills.
It comes after some of the children were discharged but their parents couldn’t paid the money and as a result they were stuck at the hospital for a very long time.
The MP who doubles as the Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry has paid GHS 15,000.00 hospital bills for those children who have been discharge to go home but are still at the hospital due to financial challenges confronting their parents.
Speaking to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH, Okyere Baafi said, if God blesses you with something you also have to open your arms to reach the less privilege ones to release some stress of them, hence his kind gesture.
He adds, the innocent children need to be at home to celebrate the Christmas season with their colleagues and not at the hospital but because of the sickness they found themselves there thus those whom have been blessed by God can also do for them to make them happy.
Michael Okyere Baafi noted that the kidz ward party programme has come to stay.
In addition, the Medical Director for Eastern Regional Hospital, Koforidua, Dr. Akoto Ampaw commended the MP and his team for their kind gesture done to the children.
He stated that, such programmes help the kids a lot in the healing process because they will dance and enjoy themselves as well.
Dr. Ampaw again on behalf of the parents thanked Michael Okyere Baafi for paying the hospital bills for the children to be discharged to go home and enjoy the rest of the Christmas.
