The cheque was presented to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital on behalf of Mr. Gabby Otchere-Darko and Mr. Daniel McKorley by Dr. Okoe Boye, Board Chairman of the Hospital. He said the two were happy to bring comfort to the young boy.

The mother of Nazil, Latifa Mohammed was grateful for the support. She was hopeful that the surgery will be successful for her son to live a normal life.
