Mpilo Hospital CEO Dr Solwayo Ngwenya while speaking to the Chronicle took ht time to remember his roots and he said he never thought one day he would be a celebrated obstetrician.
Dr Ngwenya said:
This is a monumental achievement for a herdboy like me who comes from a humble beginning. Judging from my background, I never thought I would reach this far and I am humbled by the support which has been rendered to me and the family.
Being an academic, businessman, lecturer and a family man is one of the most difficult things to do as it requires a lot of effort to balance things. My values and tradition have contributed a lot to my growth as a human being.
Dr Ngwenya who is a medical doctor besides being the hospital CEO is also:
- A Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Science and Technology (NUST)
- An entrepreneur who runs his own institution, which he built from scratch Royal Women’s Hospital
- A fellow at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the UK
Dr Nywenya was appointed acting CEO of the Hospital during the government’s public hospitals’ restructuring exercise.
