The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Malawi (ICAM) on Tuesday donated medical equipment valued at K15 million to Nkope Health Centre in Mangochi to enhance healthcare service delivery at the facility.
The donation includes delivery beds, a desktop computer, a suction machine, gloves, assorted medicines, and trolleys.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, ICAM Vice-President MacDonald Kamoto said the initiative is part of the institution’s corporate social responsibility activities, which are tied to its Annual Lakeshore Conference.
“Each year, we hold our Lakeshore Conference here in Mangochi. When any of us falls ill, we rely on facilities like this one. This donation is, therefore, our way of giving back to the community,” said Kamoto
