Dubai crown prince, Hamdan bin Mohammed has paid the hospital bill of a Nigerian family that is stranded in Dubai.
Tijani and Suliyah Abdulkareem welcomed recently their quadruplets at the Latifa Hospital for Women and Children had no medical insurance and were indebted to the tune of $120,000.
The medical bill was incurred after their babies (two boys and two girls) were placed on ventilators at the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit after being born prematurely.
While thanking Hamdan bin Mohammed for helping them, Abdulkareem said two of the quadruplets would be named after him while one of the girls would be named after the hospital.
He said: “It’s just a huge favour, and we are still in shock because we didn’t even know how to get the money. I had been sleepless wondering how to pay the bill.”
Also, the 32-year-old chef thanked the Nigerian community and every person that assisted his family pay for two months rent for a wider place to accommodate the quadruplets.
He added: “We have been getting calls from Portuguese and Brazilian nationals in Dubai. People have been trying to reach us. The Nigerian community has been following us every step of the way.”
