Deborah Appiah fled the hospital after doctors notified her of the disorder, for which they were to be transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital from the St. Francis Xavier Hospital at Assin Fosu.

Due to the absence of the GHS 3,000 hospital bills, she was on the run, until she was fished out some days later.

In a latest development, Chief of Asebi, Nene Teye Narh Gbeeku, has settled her bill and made her ready to be discharged.

Speaking to Adom News, the nurse in charge of St. Francis Xavier Hospital, Georgina Donzing, thanked Multimedia and its brands for always being there for the less-privileged in society.

She pleaded for more support for the baby who still needs medical intervention.

Yaa Edua fled the St. Francis Xavier hospital at Assin Fosu after doctors notified her that the baby was born with health complications.

The suspect, who is an orphan, could not foot the GHS 3,000 bill required to perform the surgery for the congenital abnormality and opted to boot.

Dr Emmanuel Agbemetu, who is in charge of the case at the St. Francis Xavier hospital, explained the condition of the child requires immediate intervention.

In view of this, the Police launched a manhunt and arrested Yaa Edua in her hideout.

During interrogations, she confessed that the man behind the pregnancy has also refused to take responsibility, hence the decision to run way.

Meanwhile, she further revealed that the decision to run away came after the medical doctor indicated that they would be referred for further treatment at the Okomfo Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.
