Staff was amazing but how can I afford that.

Firstly I was never notified prior of cost. At 2am this morning I received SMS with the following.

Kindly settle 21,564.30 Mowbray Maternity Hospital MMH***4W Deposit Nedbank|Branch Code 14 52 09 - Account Number ***Tel. ***

I even received this from my medical aid below.

Bankmed confirms your treatment on 31 Jul, with authorisation number ***9. Kindly supply this number to your healthcare provider on the day.

The sad thing is that I am a single mom And my angel was in their High care for seven days. My angel passed away at 23 days old and I am taking it so hard and now this out of no where.

Isnt this a government hospital and yes my daughter was born with a condition that had no cure trisomy 13.

As a grieving single mom... how could they just send me a SMS and no prior communication.
