TelOne Managing Director, Mrs Chipo Mutasa, has revealed that the first lady, Auxillia Mnangagwa is, through her Angel of Hope, mobilising resources required to rebuild St Luke Hospital in Matebeleland North Province.
This comes after the hospital was burnt down by fire which reduced to ashes equipment worth $250 000.
Mtasa who is also Angel of Hope Foundation board chair said that the foundation, in partnership with Matter Foundation of United States and Love for Africa from Victoria Falls, has so far mobilised $250 000 to re-equip the hospital after construction has been done.
Speaking at the handover of an innovation hub initiated by the three organisations at Victoria Falls Primary School on Wednesday, Mtasa said:
Angel of Hope Foundation has always worked at health centres to assist mostly on cancer, nutrition and equipment mobilisation projects. After the sad tragedy that struck St Luke’s, Angel of Hope Foundation reached out to partners and Matter Foundation has come in to bring medical equipment worth $250 000.
She also added that the foundation was still looking for more partners so as to fully resuscitate the Roman Catholic Hospital and only referral hospital in Matebeleland North.
Mrs Mtasa said that Angel of Hope is targeting to assist a number of hospitals in the country in every province by catering for the needs and challenges they face. This target has a three-year timeframe.
