NOBLE CAUSE: DPP Good Samaritans symbolically presenting the donation
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Members of Parliament (MPs) on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 donated various Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Blantyre to help the hospital in the fight against the ruthless COVID-19 pandemic.
QECH is amongst the worst hit medical facilities in the country with highest COVID-19 admission and death rates.
The donated items include 200 gowns, 140 cellular blankets, 50 cartons of face masks and 50 cartons of gloves worth about MK4.5 million.
