Air Power Club, ABSA handover refurbished CDH ward

FEMALE patients at Lusaka’s Cancer Diseases Hospital (CDH) ward 1 yesterday received an early women’s day gift, when the Zambia Air Force (ZAF)’s Air Power Ladies Club (APLC) handed over the renovated ward.
 
The project, which was done in partnership with ABSA Bank at a cost of over K150,000, included the construction of shower partitions and putting up individual curtains for 26 beds in order to accord each patient some privacy.
 
Receiving the renovated ward, Minister of Health Sylvia Masebo said a hospital environment can be depressing.
 
The minister said she was tramatised the time she saw one of the dilapidated wards at the CDH, some time back.
 
Masebo thanked the APLC and ABSA for collaborating to refurbish the ward, noting that so far, four out of nine wards have been upgraded, of which the hospital refurbished three.
 
“I am further delighted that you (APLC) chose to refurbish, in particular, the female ward as many times women are not thought of as a priority,” Masebo said, further urging the business sector to emulate the gesture of APLC and ABSA Bank
 
For APLC patron Sharmaine Barry, the renovation of the female ward is aimed at improving the stay of cancer patients, which falls under the club’s three anchors of charity, unity and empowerment.
 
Meanwhile, a caregiver, Hildah Mupila, thanked the APLC and ABSA Bank for the renovating the ward, saying the toilets, prior to the development, were malfunctional.
 
ABSA Bank corporate banking director Brian Kalero said they contributed K50,000 towards the ward refurbishment and that the Bank remains committed to supporting noble community causes.
