Mlambe Mission Hospital in Blantyre now has new beds in its theatre room \u2013 thanks to one resident from the area who chose the hospital to benefit from a prize she won in the TNM Ufulu@50 promotion.<\/p>\n
The resident, 23 year-old Maria Kasonde, was one of the 50 TNM customers who won K2 million each for a community project of their choice in the promotion which was part of celebrations to mark Malawi\u2019s 50 years of independence.<\/p>\n
Kasonde decided to purchase K2 million worth of two theatre beds for Mlambe Hospital which are expected to go a long way in improving services and saving lives at the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe life and health of a person can only be developed if hospitals have appropriate resources,\u201d said Kasonde.<\/p>\n
She said Mlambe hospital is struggling with funding and equipment despite its strategic importance to communities and the country.<\/p>\n
Receiving the donation, Mlambe Hospital board chairperson, Elias Kambalame, thanked Kasonde and TNM for the donation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe beds are really special, because they are meant for high dependency patients and they will go a long way helping those that are very sick\u201d<\/p>\n
TNM\u2019s Head of Blantyre Region, David Nyirenda, said the handover ceremony demonstrates TNM\u2019s commitment in fulfilling its promises to customers and the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has been a life changing promotion. It was an opportunity for the people of Malawi to identify and help address some problems in their communities,\u201d said Nyirenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
