Western Regional Minister settles GH¢39,000 bill, secures release of accident victim

Speaking to the media after ing him on Sunday, August 23, Mr Nelson said he was moved by the appeal and believed no patient should remain in hospital solely because of an inability to settle medical bills.

Accident victim Emmanuel Etroo has been released from the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi after spending nearly five months at the facility over an outstanding medical bill of GH¢39,000.

Mr Etroo underwent four surgeries, with the first costing GH¢15,500, but remained at the hospital because of the outstanding balance and the need for a fifth operation.
