“The hospital discharged the babies this morning but yet to discharge the mother because she suffered depression after delivery. The bill for the children is Ghc2,6725.50. We don’t know how much bill the mother will be charged when she is also delivered”.
She said the father of the babies is an unemployed young man of about 25 years who was dating the girl which resulted in pregnancy.
“We are from Kyebi Ahwenease. The father of the children is also a young boy who is unemployed. He used to engage in galamsey but now he is at home. We don’t have money to pay the bills. The mother of the girl is also sick and she is in the house so it is not easy we want people to help us.”
