AT least 213 pa­tients who were struggling to pay their hospital bills have been given a lifeline following the intervention of a philanthro­pist.

The philanthropist, Kofi Job, a renowned road construction contractor, visited the hospitals and paid their bills in cash amount­ing to GH¢100,000.00 directly to the hospitals' management, at the weekend.

The hospitals, Kumasi South Hospital, Old Tafo Government Hospital, and the Manhyia District Hospital were also provided with financial support to cover new pa­tients who arrived at the hospitals and were in need of assistance.

He gave GH¢3,000.00 and GH¢2,000.00 to cover the cost of prescribed medications and other expenses for an undisclosed num­ber of patients at the hospitals.
