The Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment in partnership with the Medical Benefits Scheme have come to the aid of Micah Kitt who was diagnosed with stage four cancer at the age of three months.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

Micah, now eight months, has been suffering from stage four Neuroblastoma after his mother noticed that his stomach was not growing normally and took him to get a medical checkup.<\/p>\n

It has not been easy for Micah but with the love and support from his biological, medical and religious family, he is on the right path. The Medical Benefits Scheme has assisted Micah with medical bills valued at over $20,000 US dollars.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>

We continue to wish Micah the best of health as his medical care continues.<\/p>
