According to her husband, the hospital that could have helped his wife and unborn baby rejected them because they couldn’t afford the 500,000 naira ($325) hospital bill.
The hospital told them they need to pay 500,000 first before she would be admitted. They were referred to another hospital after they failed to pay the amount.
