The University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) has refuted reports that musician, Burna Boy, covered all medical bills for patients during a recent visit to the hospital.
The multiple award winning star only settled the bills of selected patients at the facility, contrary to claims of covering all outstanding bills, the hospital said.
This was disclosed in a statement by the institution’s spokesperson, Elabha Meni 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 patients’ 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 costs,” Meni clarified.
The hospital lauded Burna Boy for his generosity and kindnesses.
