Some women who had just given birth at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Monrovia over the weekend became grateful recipients of a goodwill gesture from the Yah Kemah Maternal Help, a US-based charity organization in Worcester, Massachusetts.

   The organization provided financial support to the underprivileged young mothers by paying their hospital bills amounting up to US$500 and L$20,000, respectively, as part of its mission to provide maternal support to indigent women.

   Sonie Kamara, the Founder of the charity group, covered the medical expenses during her recent visit to JFK in an effort to assess the needs of women who are desperately in need. “We have seen the conditions of the hospitalized women; some can afford [to pay] while others cannot. As a charity group, we thought to come to their aid. The first thing is to settle their bills and get them discharged,” Kamara said.

   According to Kamara, the patients were immediately discharged as soon as the bills were paid, and they thanked the organization for helping them to get out of the hospital.

   Meanwhile, Kamara also visited the Zekepa Healthcare Clinic, Nimba County, over the weekend, where she provided 24 mattresses, valued at over US$400 to help alleviate the shortage of hospital beds.
