Tijani and
Suliyah Abdulkareem who welcomed their quadruplets at the Latifa Hospital for
Women and Children on July 1, had no medical insurance and were indebted to the
tune of $120,000.
Dubai crown
prince, Hamdan bin Mohammed has paid the hospital bill of a Nigerian family
that was stranded in the country.
They incurred
the medical bill after their babies (two boys and two girls) were placed on
ventilators at the neonatal intensive care unit after being born prematurely.
Expressing
gratitude to Hamdan bin Mohammed for coming to their aid, Abdulkareem said two
of the children will be named after him while one of the girls will be named
after the hospital.
He said;
“IT’S JUST A
HUGE FAVOUR, AND WE ARE STILL IN SHOCK BECAUSE WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO GET
THE MONEY. I HAD BEEN SLEEPLESS WONDERING HOW TO PAY THE BILL.”
The
32-year-old chef also thanked the Nigerian community and everyone who assisted
his family pay for two months rent for a bigger place to accommodate the
quadruplets.
Abdulkareem
added;
“WE HAVE BEEN
GETTING CALLS FROM PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN NATIONALS IN DUBAI. PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN TRYING TO REACH US. THE NIGERIAN COMMUNITY HAS BEEN FOLLOWING US EVERY
STEP OF THE WAY.”
