“We’re very grateful to all those who contributed to this fund which enabled us to assist the patients at this hospital,” he said.

Gwanda Provincial Hospital acting medical superintendent, Dr Jeremy Marume said the donation came at a time when limited financial resources were making it difficult to provide enough food to the patients.
