Burna Boy's Charity Visit to UPTH: Setting the Record Straight on Medical Bill Payments


Contrary to widespread reports, the renowned singer did not cover the medical bills of all patients during his visit to the hospital.

While Burna Boy did demonstrate remarkable kindness by settling the bills of select patients, the hospital has clarified that the extent of his generosity was misrepresented in the media.

According to UPTH's spokesperson, Elabha Meni, the singer's donation was limited to specific patients, and the hospital did not receive direct payments from him or his team to cover the expenses of all patients.

Meni commended Burna Boy's philanthropic spirit, acknowledging his financial support for the select patients he assisted.

However, she emphasized the need to correct the misconception that he had paid all outstanding bills, stating that only a portion of patients benefited from his kindness.

This clarification comes after various blogs and news outlets reported that Burna Boy had covered the medical expenses of all patients at UPTH, totaling a significant amount.

The hospital's statement aims to provide an accurate account of the singer's generosity, acknowledging his contributions while also ensuring that the facts are not exaggerated or distorted.

Burna Boy's visit to Port Harcourt had generated significant attention, with his charitable acts, including foodstuff giveaways and a paid lunch worth N4 million at a popular market, making headlines.

While his kindness has been widely appreciated, the hospital's clarification serves as a reminder to verify information before sharing to avoid perpetuating misconceptions.
