Couple stranded in hospital months after child delivery

Three months after Babatunde Williams’s wife, Chinwe, gave birth to a baby boy through a caesarean section; the couple has remained stranded in a private hospital in the Surulere area of Lagos State.

It was learnt that the hospital, Midas Touch Clinic, had stopped attending to the baby’s mother because the family had yet to pay about N500,000 bill incurred so far.

Our correspondent gathered that 30-year-old Chinwe, who hails from Imo State, had been on admission in the hospital since October 13, 2014.

It was learnt that after the caesarean section, the woman underwent another surgery when she continued to bleed days after the birth.
