Good journalism does not need justification for its existence, because its service to society is justification in itself, such is the investigation by the Guardians news correspondents Ann Godwin on the Echoes of patients at the Port Harcourt university teaching hospital while urging the hospital management to embrace the IMPACT JOURNALISM that brought the Burna Boy Act of Kindness at UPTH. Two weeks after this Guardian report by award winning Investigative Journalist Ann Chukwuka Godwin on University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) https://guardian.ng/saturday-magazine/at-upths-icu-horror-nightmare-as-caregivers-exploit-sick-dying-patients/
Shortly after the Grammy award winning artist Burna Boy visited UPTH, pays bills for all patients.
This is heartwarming 
I urge the authorities of UPTH to see this Guardian report as a charge to up their ante, fill in the lacunas and look into the issues of exploitation of patients by health care workers and also opportunities for more gestures to come their way than to deny these issues as non existence.
