| Andy and his 71-year-old dad at the hospital |
Jerry John Rawlings former President, has donated GHC5,000 to the 16-year-old boy who was bathed in acid by a tenant of his dad's. The money is to help cushion the cost of medical bills accrued at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for his treatment. Andy Dodoo sustained severe acid burns after a tenant Suleyman Yuguda poured the corrosive substance on him following a misunderstanding with his father.
Three others also suffered other forms of injuries after the suspect poured the corrosive substance on them. Although the three others have been treated and discharged, Andy and his father are still on admission at the hospital due to the severity of their injuries.
The principal, lecturers, as well as nursing students from the College
of Health Sciences at the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital, have also donated
GHC7,000 to the victim and his family. One other person who wishes to
remain anonymous also donated ¢3,000.
Since Andy's ordeal came to light after Joy News’ Beatrice Adu paid him a visit at the hospital, many benevolent Ghanaians have donated sums of money to cater for his hospital bills with ex-President Rawlings the latest to donate.
