UPTH reports: Burna Boy did not settle all patients’ medical expenses

The University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) refuted claims that musician Burna Boy paid all medical expenses for patients during his recent visit.

The hospital explained that the artist only covered the bills for specific patients, not all outstanding bills. Mrs. Elabha Meni, the hospital’s spokesperson, clarified this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday.

“We commend Burna Boy’s kindness in financially assisting select patients in our hospital to offset their bills during his visit on June 11.

“However, contrary to reports stating that all patient’s bills in UPTH were paid during the visit, only selected patients received cash gifts or donations.

“The hospital did not receive direct payments from the musician and his team on behalf of patients to support this worthy course of reducing healthcare cost,” Meni clarified.

Meni praised the musician for his charitable deed in assisting those in need in society.
