Last month I cried unto God over the situation of poor,
weak, neglected and abandoned sick patients in a hospital in Owerri. My
attention was first drawn to a woman, who was ‘detained’ in the medical
facilities for inability to pay her hospital bills for a period of 4months after
she got discharged.
The day I went to rescue her through donation from
good spirited individuals, I couldn’t hold my tears, more than 15 of her likes
are equally detained in the hospital.
told, the Hospital was a specialist Hospital, most of their cases are emergency
referrals from smaller hospitals, maternity and other medical and diagnostic
center, who doesn’t have specialist or equipment to handle.
That their
first priority was to save life. It happened that after patients were treated
and discharged, they couldn’t afford to pay medical bills, and if allowed to go,
and be paying gradually. They will completely disappear. To checkmate it, they
were not allowed to leave the perimeter of the medical facility until their
outstanding bills are settled.
I saw it a big challenge that needs a
quick solution. My spirit couldn’t rest, I outlined a medical outreach program;
reaching out to friends, Facebook followers and readers by publishing the
pitiable situation of the patients that needs help here on Facebook. In less
than one week, three were paid for and allowed to go home peacefully, also
through the support from good spirited individuals. I continue reaching out to
friends who promised to do something.
But today, God manifested himself
in a very special way. Someone I have not seen or met before read the post on my
Facebook wall, called me from Lagos state, I explained to her. She said the NGO
she works for (Good Light Foundation), is interested in bringing smile in the
faces of those indigent patients. All I could say is wow!
She followed
it, how much is their bills, I told her; the major people with huge bill is
N1.072, 500. 00 and the one God has chosen, Mrs Evan Chioma Ulokwe Duru
representing Good Light Foundation said no problem, that she is taking the next
available flight to Owerri from Lagos. In less than one hour she was at Imo
Airport. I picked her up and few members of the Good Light Foundation and we
drove to the New Creation Hospital Orji, Owerri North LGA of Imo State. She was
overwhelmed by what she saw. She out of human kindness increased the number of
patients to ten (10) including three nursing mothers, bring the amount to N1. 2
million (One Million two hundred thousand naira).
A total of ten patients
were paid for and allowed to go home happily to rejoin their families.
I
was overwhelmed, I can’t thank Mrs Chioma Duru enough, I can’t thank the founder
and President of GOOD LIGHT FOUNDATION, Sir Stanley Amuchie, an entrepreneur
from Aboh Mbaise local government Area of Imo State enough. What a wonderful
soul, doing great things in propagation of God’s kingdom on earth, through
service to humanity.
My joy is complete. Please Join me to rejoice because there is
celebration in heaven right now!!!
