Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra on Friday directed the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, management to free 12 indigent children treated of various ailments.

Obiano visited the hospital to see a relation on admission and was compassionate after seeing the plight of the patients including amputees.

A beneficiary of the governor’s gesture, Mr Paul Ifemesi, said that they had been discharged but their parents and guardians could not offset the hospital bills.

He commended the governor for the gesture as the bills run into thousands of naira.
