Pope Francis has donated ventilators to Likuni mission hospital in Lilongwe to boost Malawi’s fight against Covid-19.
Shortage of ventilators is a major challenge for most developing countries including Malawi in the treatment and management of the pandemic considering the high costs to procure the life supporting equipment.
According to Vatican News, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church’s donation was made through Archbishop Gianfranco Gallone, who is the Apostolic Nuncio to Malawi and Zambia.
Local Archbishop Tarcisius Ziyaye has since hailed the donation saying the Pope is really concerned about the deadly pandemic which has shaken the whole world.
