Nigerian woman, 43 gave birth to IVF quadruplets in London hospital after going into labour on flight to Heathrow - hours after she was turned away from the US

A Nigerian woman who gave birth to IVF quadruplets after a stop-over flight to the UK will detail her journey in BBC2 documentary Hospital, tomorrow. The 43 year-old Lagos native, known as Priscilla was filmed over several weeks at London's
St Mary's Hospital while racking-up a £500,000 bill which remains unpaid. Her case exposes the crippling costs that health tourists place on taxpayers, with Whitehall research putting the cost to the NHS at anywhere between £200million and £2billion a year. Other examples include a Palestinian man who 'disappeared into the community' following a kidney stones procedure (bottom right) and a Filipino woman (top right) who had heart surgery after falling ill visiting the UK, only to return home unable to pay for the procedure.
