However, the boy was reportedly turned away at the Wa Regional Hospital because the officials in charge of issuing the folders were not around.

Starr News reports that the boy waited for close to four hours without anyone attending to him.

He eventually died later that day after hours of waiting without receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, officials at the hospital have refused to comment on the matter.
