The items include baby diapers, bags of rice, gallons of cooking oil, a box of soap, detergents, babies’ supplementary foods, baby creams, boxes of canned fish and drugs.
In a telephone interview after the presentation, Dr. Adu-Poku disclosed that he read news about the quadruplets in the newspapers and on the internet, and as a native of Kenyasi he was touched and decided to help.
According to him, the economic situation in Ghana now is challenging for one to take good care of even a child, so delivering four at a time could be a difficult task for the parents hence the assistance.
He assured that the presentation of the items was not the last, as he would do his best to assist the parents and the children in their upbringing to grow up to become responsible leaders in future.
Full of praises and joy, the 43-year old Mrs Afushietu Abaka-Sampson, mother of the quadruplets, disclosed that she has been married to her husband, Mr Mohamed Abaka-Sampson, for 22 years without a child but was hopeful that God would surely make a way.
According to Mrs Abaka-Sampson, her prayer was answered when on July 3, 2014 at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, God gave her four beautiful girls.
She continued that though she was happy, she has a herculean task in taking care of the children with the current economic challenges in the country, adding that transportation to take the children to the hospital for periodic medical check-ups was even a problem.

Again, Mrs Abaka-Sampson added that the cost of feeding the children was no joke, disclosing that a box of infant food supplement, SMA, last only for six days at a cost of GH₵324.00.
The 62-year old husband, Mr Mohamed Abaka-Sampson, a former contractor expressed gratitude to Dr. Adu-Poku and his brother, Mr Francis Opoku Sarfo, who presented the items on behalf of the UK-based medical doctor for the support given to the children since birth.
He said Mr. Francis Opoku Sarfo, an assembly member of the Zongo Electoral area, during the naming ceremony of the children assisted them with cash of GH₵700.00 and some items.
The babies are; Nihal Nyameye Adutwumwaa Abaka-Sampson, Nihad Nyameye Adutwumwaa Abaka-Sampson, Nawal Nyameye Adutwumwaa Abaka-Sampson and Najat Nyameye Adutwumwaa Abaka-Sampson.
