Ledzokuku MP pays medical bills of detained mothers at LEKMA Hospital

The Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku in the Greater Accra Region, Benjamin Ayiku Narteh, has paid the medical bills of some detained mothers at the LEKMA Hospital.

The gesture is to help alleviate the financial burden on the women who had given birth but were unable to settle their medical bills.

The payment was made before the New Year to allow the women to celebrate the festive season with their families at home.

Nartey was accompa­nied by the municipal health director, National Democratic Congress (NDC) constituency executives, and the Assem­bly Member for the Aborlebu Electoral Area, Emmanuel Okai Doku, to visit the hospital to settle the bills of the detained women.

One of the detained mothers who spoke on behalf of her colleagues expressed appreciation to the MP and said the gesture had relieved them of the stress and anxiety associated with the burden of medical bills during what should be a joyous and momentous occasion in their lives.

“Benjamin Ayiku Narteh’s commitment to alleviating the plight of vulnerable members within his constituency has not gone unnoticed, and this recent act of kindness further solidifies his dedication to serving and uplifting his constituents,” she stated.

The detained mother said the collaborative effort with the Municipal Health Director, NDC Constituency Executives, and other community leaders underscored the collective resolve to address the healthcare needs and challenges faced by the residents of the Ledzokuku Constituency.

“The selfless initiative by the MP not only demonstrates his leadership and compassion but also serves as a beacon of hope for those in need within the community. As the beneficiaries express their gratitude, the goodwill and impact of Benjamin Ayiku Narteh’s actions resonate as a testament to the power of empathy and public service,” she stated
