Speaking in an interview on Joy News TV, Little Prosper’s parents revealed that a medical doctor on duty pulled the plug from the oxygen machine after all attempts to pay GHC533 to keep their son alive couldn’t materialise.
Little Prosper, born on January 19, 2018, fell sick[he was not breathing well] and was taken to the hospital on March 5. However, when it became clear the family could not pay for the cost of treatment before the intended transfer to Korle Bu, the doctor decided to take a drastic decision to cut the oxygen supply the baby lived on.
“That Saturday, the Doctor came, he ask me that I hear from my husband [about the bills] I say I didn’t hear. Then he removed the oxygen…it is too late,” Sefakor managed in the little English she could speak.
The baby’s father, Kennedy Kwao, said he chose the name ‘Prosper’ because he was hopeful that the boy will grow up to become a prosperous man.
