It is a fact undeniable that kindness brightens the countenance of the beneficiary, benefactor and onlookers alike. This was the scenario that unfolded at the General Hospital Ikot Ekpene.
The hospital was thrown into a frenzy of joyous celebration and appreciations when a kind-hearted Nigerian, Sir Nsikak Umoren decided to go celebrate his birthday with patients at the General Hospital.
In the course of his visit, he was propelled by compassion and empathy for the sick and he decided to offset the bills of patients who had completed medical treatment but were not discharged due to inability to clear their financial bills. Patients in male surgical ward, female surgical ward and labour ward were given top priority.
Even in a world and time where selfishness often makes headlines, there are still people who believe in humanity, people who share in the plight of the commoners and downtrodden. You call them kind-hearted people. But I call them the chosen ones. The ones specially ordained by Nature and Providence to work on a high frequency of energy which radiates from the heart to keep the balance of the Universe.
