PF Matero constituency aspiring candidate, Dickson Jere has donated medical supplies to Matero Level One Hospital to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Jere donated BP monitors, surgical masks and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) for the medical team at Matero Level One Hospital as they roll out the Covid-19 vaccination.
He explained that he decided to donate because the BP machines were almost obsolete at the hospital.
“When I came to do my vaccination on Tuesday last week, I found that the BP machines were almost obsolete. So I promise to get them new ones hence this donation,” Jere said when the handover of the devices.
Mr Jere said apart from the monitors, he has included surgical masks and PPEs for the medical teams at the hospital which is the biggest medical facility in the constituency.
“I made similar donations to George Clinic and I thought I should extend this to Level 1 hospital which also caters for a lot of people,” Jere said.
And hospital superintendent Dr Mutumba Songiso thanked Mr. Jere for the gesture and said the donation will be put to good use.
“We welcome the donations and will dispatch them to the right places in need of these,” Dr Songiso said.
