The Future for Africa (F4A), a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established in Bolgatanga, the Upper East Regional capital has settled the medical bills of 15 needy children whose parents absconded with them after receiving medical care at the Regional Hospital.
The gesture was part of the NGO’s support to the “Needy Child Fund,” an initiative of the Hospital, which was launched by the Upper East Regional Minister, Madam Paulina Patience Abayage to help sick needy children admitted to the Paediatrics Department who were either not registered onto the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), or had expired NHIS cards.
The NGO apart from the Region extends its philanthropic operations to the Northern and Upper West Regions in areas of health and education to enable communities in these Regions gain access to quality health and education.
