The Senior Nursing Officer in-charge of the children's Ward at the Suhum Government Hospital, Miss Mary Siantey, has appealed to benevolent societies, religious organizations and the Ministry of Women and Children's Affairs to help care for a set of triplets and their mother, Rebecca Magiki at Santramo Number One, a farming community, near Suhum.
Making the appeal at the Suhum Government Hospital where the triplets and their mother are on admission, Miss Siantey said Rebecca, a 27-year-old visually impaired woman, already have three children and is unemployed.
She said the father of the babies abandoned the family after the delivery of the triplets.
Miss Siantey said the mother and the six children were now staying with their 83-year-old grandfather, Opanyin Kwadjo Nimo, in the community.
She said because of the poor conditions in which the children lived they often become sick.
