Paying medical bills nowadays is a challenge, as explained by the chief medical officer who was so grateful for the donation. "During this festive period, for someone to be here in the hospital up till December 24 is a big problem. It is challenging for them to pay their bills. This support will help them settle these bills and make some recover faster. These are the kinds of gestures that our people need. Thank you Nkumu Fed Fed and partner", Doctor Kamilou Ibrahim, director of the Bali Nyonga district hospital.
