Africa-Press – Eswatini. RFM Hospital Chief Executive Officer Mazwi Mavuso has welcomed the donation of a brand-new E1.1 million ambulance, describing it as a timely boost that will strengthen healthcare delivery for thousands of emaSwati.

We are receiving a lot of support, and we want to commend these interventions despite the challenges. The ambulance support will surely go a long way in enhancing health service delivery at RFM Hospital and improving positive health outcomes,” he said.
Serving the nation at the centre
Mavuso noted that RFM and its 20 community clinics serve 40 percent of the country’s population annually, making the donation vital for both emergencies and outreach.
