Police officer pays hospital bill and donates crutches to needy patients

In a heartwarming act of kindness, a police officer with the Greater Accra Regional Command, Corporal Simon Agbeko, has gone beyond the call of duty by paying the hospital bill for patients in need and donating crutches to other patients to aid in their recovery.

The officer, now a prophet doing the work of God, came across the patients during a routine patrol and learned of their physical and financial struggles at the Ho Municipal Hospital in the Volta Region.

One of the patients was admitted to the hospital after surgery but faced difficulty in paying the medical bills required for treatment.

There was also another woman who gave birth to a baby but was unable to foot her bills.

Upon hearing of the patients' plight, the compassionate officer stepped in to cover the costs, ensuring the patients could continue receiving the care they needed.

As part of his generous contribution, the officer also provided a set of crutches, walkers as well as walking sticks to assist with mobility to the physically challenged and impaired in a community near Ho, called Taviefe in the Volta Region.

This gesture has not only alleviated the financial burden on the patients but also boosted their morale as they work towards recovery.

Speaking on the act of kindness, the officer expressed that his duty extends beyond enforcing the law.

"It’s important to help others in times of need. My role is to serve and protect, and that also means lending a helping hand when the situation calls for it," he said.

The patients, grateful for the unexpected support, described the officer as a "guardian angel" who appeared at the right time.

The hospital staff also commended the officer for his humanity, highlighting how such actions restore faith in the community.

This act of charity has inspired many, with members of the community praising the officer for showing that law enforcement is not just about maintaining order but also about compassion and service to humanity.
