New-born triplets, sisters, mother, running from Anglophone conflict.
Three babies, all girls, born in Douala, Cameroon, of IDP parents, are in dire need of financial support for sustenance. The triplets who were ten days old as of 15 October had gone for days without proper nutrition, decent shelter and basic needs, gleanings from the press indicated.
Discharged at the largesse of hospital administration, the triplets more or less are caged in a shabby, dark and unventilated one room with no toilet system or anything near human habitation, reports hold.
The triplets are forced to share the already unventilated room with seven others; their four sisters, aunt, mother and father.
The duo already had four other children; all girls with the first aged 10, second, 6, third 3, and the fourth; 1 year, 6months. These bring the total number of children to seven girls. There’s an eighth girl, 20-year-old Pangmweh Sharon, kid sister to the triplets’ father.
The new- born babies were only discharged from the ADLUCEM Medical Centre Sable, Akwa Nord, Douala, the hospital from where they were delivered after hospital management decided to write off the hospital bills.
A total of 100.000 F CFA (approximately $ 170.00) was contributed by patients and caretakers in the hospital reducing the total hospital bill of 381.125 F CFA to 281.125 F CFA, before hospital management wrote off the balance, hospital sources said.
Njinepok Kingsley, 29, father of the triplets revealed they’re originally from Ndop, a restive town in Cameroon’s North West Region engulfed in an armed conflict.
Nupah Rahimatu, 25, mother of babies told newsmen the babies were born on Saturday October 5, 2019 and discharged on Saturday October 12, 2019. The three girls have not yet been named, she said.
The family is also in dire need of money to feed the seven children, get basics for the triplets, sanitary pads for the mother. The children have been out of school since the beginning of the armed conflict. The family says it has delegated a certain Alieh Gwendoline with Mobile Money Number’ 678166766 for any assistance. Those out of Cameroon can also call through same number.
Njinepok Kingsley also said they were doing well before the armed conflict broke out but had to migrate to Douala after his goods and chattels were burnt and he was left with nothing.
