Africa-Press – Lesotho. Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS) has been relieved from its devastating struggle with transport services, which hindered it from committedly undertaking its duties.
This is thanks to the donation of an ambulance from the Lesotho National Insurance Group (LNIG) Hollard. As yet another humanitarian act and a token of appreciation to the national security institution – LMPS, LNIG handed over a
branded which will go a long way in helping the entire nation with emergency medical transportation. This donation was delivered on Wednesday this week.
LNIG Managing Director Mpho Vumbukani said this donation will mostly help LMPS’sdepartment of Health Service. Vumbukani enlightened that the ambulance was to be delivered
last year but due to the complications brought by the advent of Covid-19 the assignment was delayed. “Following the long-lasting partnership we have with LMPS, we found it worthy to close the gaps that were somehow leaving
Basotho in danger. Roughly a year ago, we had assisted with the donation of a12 seaters mini bus. In above 40 years of its existence, LNIG secured the nation in various circumstances through funeral
and life covers and therefore we were challenged to make this donation because our services are mostly realized where complications exists,” he stated.
Vumbukani added that they are committed to take this relationship to the next level by extending a helping hand when need arises. He urged LMPS to take care of this valuable property.
For his part, Commissioner of Police Holomo Molibeli said the ambulance is going to be essential for travelling patients around hospitals, saying they have been
using regular vehicles that are rather risky for the sick. “It will be operated by LMPS paramedics’ experts from the department of forensic science and health services and we
guarantee that it will be in good hands,” Molibeli noted. Acknowledging the gesture, the Prime Minister (PM) Dr. Moeketsi Majoro said he regrets to mention that he is
familiar with the challenges of equipment faced by the police. “It is a great honour to see a Non-Governmental Organizations meeting the needs of government
departments,” Majoro said. He highlighted that this ambulance is going to be helpful and thanked all the businesses in Lesotho for their continuing support in extreme situations.
