A Nigerian woman, simply identified as, Priscilla, who gave birth to quadruplets has been reported on UK newspaper stories today after it was revealed that she has piled up a UK hospital bill of $630,000 (£500,000).


Priscilla was on her way home from the US when she went into premature labour and gave birth on a plane that landed at London's Heathrow airport.

One of the babies did not survive the birth, but Priscilla and the other babies were taken to an intensive care unit in London. A second baby later died.

As the woman is not a British resident, she must pay for the care that she and her babies are now receiving, according to Daily Mail and The Sun UK.

Their emergency treatment has been provided free of charge but non-UK residents have to pay for subsequent care.
