A human rights organization, Stand For Humanity Foundation, has paid the hospital delivery bill of twins girls, Akuyoma and Nwakaego Duruaku after two months of their delivery.
The founder of the organization, Chidiebube Okeoma, in a statement on Tuesday, disclosed that the set of twins were delivered two months ago, June 1 but were unable to leave the hospital because of outstanding delivery charge of N600,000.
Okeoma, a journalist and humanitarian disclosed that the kids visually impaired father, Ndubuisi Duruaku and mother, Chiamaka Duruaku, were unable to raise the funds hence their prolonged two months stay at the hospital after being discharged.
He said that his organization stepped into the matter on August 1st and after two days, the funds were raised with the babies driven home by the organization and food stuff bought and money given to the nursing mother.
Part of the statement read “we are happy to announce that two months old twin girls, Akuyoma and Nwakaego Duruaku, held at TotalCare Hospital at Akwakuma in Owerri because of outstanding delivery bill of N600, 000 have been taken home by our organization, Stand For Humanity Foundation.
“Our Organization, Stand For Humanity Foundation, stepped into the matter on August 1st and by August 3rd the outstanding N600,000 was paid by a compassionate Nigerian who preferred to remain anonymous.
