Actually, I always make it a point to check with the minister of Health on how far he has gone to facilitating such support because this is what the King wants to see happening,\u201d Dladla said.<\/p>\n<p>Worth noting is that the Luke Commission recently appealed for government\u2019s support in funding their operations, despite indicating that they did not want to be turned into a government parastatal. TLC\u2019s Echo \u2018Nomsa\u2019 VanderWal reiterated the support they were requesting from government, stating that they were more than happy to assist emaSwati with their different medical ailments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur objective is to ensure healthy Eswatini and we would definitely appreciate support from government to achieve those dreams. We are very thankful for the support we are getting from the King and Queen Mother.
