ACCRA, July 5 (Xinhua) The Ghanaian government offered to cover the total cost of surgery to separate three-month-old conjoined twins, the country s presidency announced Monday.
Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, chief-of-staff of the presidency, told officials at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had issued directives for the payment.
The decision was made after the twins mother Rebecca Bansah asked for help last month for the pair to undergo a separation procedure, while doctors estimated that the total cost could be about 3.0 million Ghana cedis (about 508,000 U.S. dollars).
