The exercise aimed to improve hygiene standards at the facility while supporting patients in need.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview, Chazima said her decision to celebrate her birthday through community service was inspired by her personal connection to the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was raised in Kawale, and this is the facility where we used to seek medical attention. That is why I felt compelled to give back and contribute to improving its condition,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the visit, she also spent time in the maternity ward, interacting with new mothers and offering words of encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>Kawale Health Centre In-Charge, Andrew Mphongolo, expressed gratitude for the timely support, noting that the donation would significantly benefit patients, particularly mothers who often lack basic necessities, as the facility does not provide food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis support has come at the right time. Patients deserve to receive treatment in a clean and safe environment, and the donated items will assist those who are struggling, especially mothers in need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mphongolo further emphasized the importance of maintaining cleanliness in healthcare facilities, stating that a hygienic environment is essential for effective service delivery. He added that the gesture should serve as a reminder of the role communities can play in supporting public health institutions.<\/p>\n<p>He called on individuals and organisations to take responsibility in contributing towards the improvement of community healthcare facilities to ensure the delivery of quality health services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Malawi<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
