Monrovia – Promise, a 9 year-old, is already discharged from the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital (JFK), but cannot go home because her parents cannot afford to settle the hospital bill. Her mother Comfort Kaiyee told FrontPageAfrica that her daughter was diagnosed with Malaria by doctors at JFK and needed blood as well. She said prior to her visit at JFK, she went to E.LW.A Hospital, but was told that they couldn’t diagnose any illness in her daughter. She continued: “Atleast if they will pay half and we pay half, then we will use the balance to go to Tapita. Joseph, 54, had also been in the hospital and discharged, but can’t go home because his bill came up to LD$61,000.00 (US$488).
