Yas Tanzania, through its employee-led Tumaini campaign, has made a significant donation to Liwale District Hospital in Lindi Region. The donation, handed over on October 4, includes essential maternity equipment and supplies. This initiative aims to support the care of expectant mothers in the region. The hospital, which serves as a critical healthcare facility, will greatly benefit from these donations.
The donated items include a maternity examination bed, a wheelchair, bedsheets, delivery trays, and khanga wraps. These supplies are crucial for providing effective care during childbirth and will help meet some of the hospital's maternity care needs. Dr. Hadija Said Kitiku, Liwale District Medical Officer, expressed her gratitude for the donation, highlighting its significance in supporting doctors and nurses in their daily work.

The company decided to contribute equipment that would support her care.

The company aims to support mothers and health workers attending to them. He also expressed gratitude to the hospital's doctors, nurses, and other health workers for their efforts in caring for mothers and babies.
