The Founder and President of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church Prophet Shepherd Bushiri has pledged to construct a children’s ward at Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) as one way of promoting the wellbeing of the minors.
Bushiri made the sentiments on Thursday while handing over 14 infusion pumps to the facility worth K10.5 million.
Speaking during a brief ceremony, Bushiri said his plan is to construct a mega ward in honor of his late daughter, Israella, which will have modern facilities so that children with complications are not referred abroad
“When my team came here for ground inspection, it is when they were told of the immediate need for infusion pumps. So this donation here is just part of my bigger plan of the ward,” he said.
KCH Director, Jonathan Ngoma, expressed gratitude to Bushiri, whom he called a friend of the people.
“Infusion pumps are in short supply, as such, this donation has eased a great problem at our hospital,” he said.
Ngoma commended Bushiri’s vision of constructing a modern children’s ward, adding that it is always wonderful to see Malawians coming in to help their nation.
