Nigerian Mother Let Off £145,000 NHS Bill After Birth Of Quintuplets


A NHS hospital failed to chase up a bill of £145,000 it should have charged a Nigerian woman who had quintuplets after travelling to Britain.
Bimbo Ayelabola, 37, underwent a complex caesarean section in 2011 but did not pay any of the cost of the operation and neo-natal care for her five babies.
But it has now emerged that Homerton University Hospital, in east London, will not pursue her for the outstanding bill.




The hospital involved has admitted it sent only one request for payment, more than six months after Miss Ayelabola left the hospital – and had failed to take any further action when it was returned unpaid.
Miss Ayelabola has since returned to her home city of Lagos, where she is a successful make-up artist.

She said: “I have never received my bill. If I had it, I would pay it.”
It follows claims by NHS whistleblowers that managers are instructing them to turn a blind eye to health tourists because it is ‘too much trouble’ to chase them for money.
According to NHS estimates, only around 16 per cent of the cost of treating foreigners who travel to Britain to receive treatment is ever recouped.


Miss Ayelabola obtained a visitor’s visa soon after discovering she was pregnant in 2010, travelling to the UK to stay with her younger sister, Stella, early in her pregnancy.
She gave birth to two boys and three identical girls at Homerton Hospital in Hackney, in April 2011 – seven weeks premature. She had a complex caesarean and remained in hospital for almost two weeks after the birth at a cost of £145,000 to UK taxpayers.
Although her visa expired, Miss Ayelabola continued living in her sister’s flat in Poplar, east London, after the births and did not return home until February 2013.


Miss Ayelabola’s children are now four years old and attending a private school.
She told the Mail: “What is it that’s my fault? I don’t understand.
“They blamed me that I came to the UK and I just came to use the system, which I did not do.
“If it (health tourism) is a problem in the UK, you should talk to the NHS. I have never received my bill. If I had it, I would pay it.”


She said that she was allowed to stay in the UK without needing to ask and without having to apply.
“I did not want to stay... it was just my situation,” Miss Ayelabola added.
It is understood Miss Ayelabola is separated from her wealthy husband, Ohi Nasir Ilavbare, but he is still involved in the children’s lives and is believed to pay for their education.
Miss Ayelabola is understood to have left the UK voluntarily in February 2013, following contact with the Home Office. It is believed she has been banned from returning to Britain for five years.


In the UK hospitals try to claw back the cost of treating foreign patients after they are discharged.
In France, Germany and Scandinavia, patients must pay in advance.

Official estimates of the cost to the NHS range up to £2billion but some commentators say the true figure is likely to be far higher because there is no proper recording system in place.
Homerton Hospital said it would not be contacting Miss Ayelabola for the payment, despite her assertion that she would pay up if she received a bill.


A spokesman said: “If she wishes to contact us, we would urge her to do so…. But we will not be contacting her.”
He added that Miss Ayelabola received a bill more than six months after she was discharged in 2011, which was returned to the hospital unopened. No further attempts were made to bill her, it is understood.
A spokesman for Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust added: "We hope the five children have prospered and are healthy. We would be pleased to reopen dialogue with Miss Ayelabola about her outstanding bill."



A Department of Health spokesman said: "It is completely unacceptable that people living outside the UK think they can abuse our NHS. We expect and are supporting the NHS to make every effort to reclaim money owed to it."

  2. How's she claiming she did not know it was free? Is she a tax payers? Why would she use an NHS hospital when there are private ones? Besides, why didn't she apply for a medical visa? She is claiming if she had the bill, she would have paid it!??? Hello! Your case has been in the news like forever! What happened to asking the hospital how much you owed?
    I don't blame d hospital for not chasing up the bill. They know it's a waste of time and more resources. Thief

  8. The woman should go and pay her bills if she can afford it! What does she mean by saying that she is waiting for the bill before she will pay? Doesn't she know that she is supposed to pay for the service? And four years has elapsed! If she continue dodging her debt, it means she doesn't appreciate the wonderful gift of five children God has given her! Moreover, she can't foresee the health reason that may bring her back to that hospital or UK!.... By the way that bill is too expensive for caesarian section during delivery! That's over 15 Million Naira when converted!!!

    1. 15 million is too much for 5 kids? Do you know how many medical practitioners it takes to birth twins talk less of quintuplets?

    2. Goaldyn Boy, you obviously do not understand anything about child birth, the children came prematurely and their mother is illegally staying in the UK, if she as had those kids in Naija HSP their chance might be very very slim but now she had the best of service and still refuse to pay....... what and ingrate, a cheat and a fraudster.

    Who knows how many rubbish she's fond of doing? Instead of her to apologize and ask for pardon and forgiveness. She can't even afford that bill. She should stop saying nonsense. The annoying part is the children still won't be British. She for go try am for America make them show her. I wonder the kind of advise this one would give her children when she's fraudulent herself.

  24. This is our main problem right here. Lack of accountability! Honestly, Nigerians always think we are so smart. She's not even ashamed. Why didn't she give birth in Naija then? The UK system is really a soft touch. They should have banned her for life!

  29. I'm sure the home office paid for her and the children's return to Nigeria hnece the reason she went to them voluntarily because she knew they won't let her stay further in the country.

  30. Wow,they left the money for her but one thing she must realise is that the UK never forgives,she wld Neva get a visa again and those kids might never get too unless they change their identity.

  31. You can be certain that she will never be issued a Visa to the UK again.
    is she aware that despite being born in the UK, those children are not citizens.

  32. Very very ungrateful. And very very stupid.

    Did you give birth in an orphanage?

    How will hospitals sustain their services with dungeon rats like you?

    It's people like you that contribute to the terrible racism we face when we travel. We are treated like THEIVES.

    See her running her mouth like a veneral disease 'If I had the bill I would pay it'. Oya, they said they are happy discuss with you, go and pay. Onigbese Oshi.

    Since the father of these kids is wealthy,Bimbo can draw up a payment plan and discuss with the hospital.This case has been on for years and I think it is embarrassing.For the sake of thsee innocent kids,the parents should do something abeg!
