Karonga, July 9, Mana: Members of Karonga Press Club (KPC) celebrated Malawi's 60th Independence anniversary by donating assorted items to patients at Karonga District Hospital on Monday.

In an interview after the donation KPC Chairperson, Adams Wundaninge, said the Club wanted to extend their support to the community by donating essential items to the maternity wing and pediatric wards of Karonga District Hospital.

"Members of the club contributed money and we purchased soap, soya pieces and salt among others which have been distributed we commemorate our independence.

"As journalists, we are aware of the importance of safe motherhood. The club's initiative aims to enhance hygiene and nutrition among new mothers and their infants by addressing critical needs within the hospital," Wundaninge said.

He expressed the group's intentions to continue contributing positively to communities in Karonga.

Director of Health and Social Services for Karonga, David Sibale, said the donation will go a long way in ensuring better hygiene and nutrition for patients.

"This initiative by KPC not only celebrates Malawi's independence but also reinforces the spirit of community support and care, setting a positive example for others to follow," Sibale said.
