Chinua Soludo, the son of the Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, paid unscheduled visit to three hospitals in Anambra State on Christmas Day, during which he cleared the hospital bills of many patients, in the spirit of the season.

The visit took him to St Joseph's Hospital, Adazi Nnukwu, Anaocha local government area, General Hospital, Nnobi in Idemili South local government area and General Hospital, Ekwulobia in Aguata local government area.

Mr. Soludo’s outreach at St. Joseph Hospital impacted more than five patients whose bills were cleared, including a patient who had been detained after her discharge and who had her bill of N933, 500 paid.

At Nnobi General Hospital, a patient who had been treated for acute malaria was billed over N120,000 and the bill was promptly cleared, and the patient went home to share the joy of Christmas with the family.

Chinua Soludo also extended his Christmas hospital outreach to Ekwulobia General Hospital, where 10 women were assisted with their bills and transportation fares.

This gesture of kindness by Soludo's son was warmly received by beneficiaries and their relatives, who offered prayers for divine blessings and God’s protection upon him.

During the visit, he not only cleared outstanding hospital bills, but also gave transport fares to facilitate their smooth return to their homes to join their families to celebrate Christmas.

Some of the beneficiaries described the gesture as a huge demonstration of humanity by Chinua Soludo, adding that it was a rare act of love, which is the hallmark of the Christmas season.

Recall that around this time last year, Chinua Soludo was at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, Awka, on a similar outreach and cleared the hospital bills of tens of patients.
