Speaking at the handover ceremony on Friday, hospital superintendent, Dr Maxwell Mungisi applauded Basadi ba Dignity founder, Ms Taboka Chengeta for her generosity.

“Health is not just about taking medication. It means complete well-being and when the children are happy psychologically, it helps to speed their recovery,” said Dr Mungisi. For her part, Ms

Chengeta said the donation was geared at meeting the greatest need of children, especially those in hospital during the festive season.

“With the festive mood already upon us, I thought about the children admitted here at the pediatric ward during this time and found it necessary to do something that will put a smile on their faces and to also wish them speedy recovery,” she said.

Ms Chengeta thanked Ba Isago University, Broadway Toyota, Clicks, Spar, Vision Technologies, Flowertown Medical Centre, Digalaseng and Thyrsus Liquor Restaurant, among others, for their support and making the donation possible.
