The Member of Parliament for Assin South Constituency, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour and his wife Tracy, on March 6, paid the bills of a fire victim.
The couple met nine year old Mavis when they spent their day at the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
The little girl is reported to have sustained severe burn injuries at home in Assin Nsuaem in Assin South Constituency on December 22, 2020, while trying to cook.
After receiving initial treatment at a nearby Health Centre, Mavis condition occasioned a referral to the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre at Korle Bu where she underwent a successful surgery to restore parts of her damaged skin.
She has since been on admission recuperating from the injury with her dad by her side at the hospital.
However, after making some part payment, the hospital and surgery bill remained rather high. The Ntim Fordjour couple upon learning of the plight of Mavis, visited her to donate a generous amount to support her treatment and to ensure that the remaining bills were settled.
Mavis has since been discharged and is recuperating at home in Assin Nsuaem.
Rev and Mrs Ntim Fordjour have also taken their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, at Parliament Clinic where all MPs and spouses were scheduled to take their jab.
In a Facebook post following their vaccination, Reverend Ntim Fordjour admonished the general public to take the jab as it safe.
