The Embassy of Australia on Thursday delivered medical equipment worth US$62 000 to the Sally Mugabe Paediatric Hospital.
The medical equipment consisted of infant ventilators, multipara meter monitors, diagnostic sets, and infusion pumps.
Speaking during the handover ceremony at the hospital, Australian Ambassador to Zimbabwe Bronte Moules said:
We are very delighted to deliver this equipment and see how it is having an impact and to learn more about that.
We want to thank you the people for doing extraordinary work in incredibly challenging circumstances that include challenges in equipment, facilities, and staff training.
I want to recognise that and pay tribute to you all as healthcare professionals in different capacities.
Moules said the donation had come through the Harare Children’s Hospital Trust.
She commended the Trust’s chairperson Dr. Gregory Powell, a Zimbabwean paediatrician of Australian background, for identifying practical, immediate solutions to all the challenges being faced at the hospital.
Moules said the embassy shall continue to support the Paediatric Hospital through the provision of more equipment. | The Herald
