UCS SACCO DIFFUSES FURNITURE CHALLENGE AT NKHOTAKOTA DHO

United Civil Servants SACCO (UCS SACCO) has diffused the furniture challenge at Nkhotakota District Office (DHO) by donating two four-seater airport chairs valued at k3 million. 

The charity gesture, is part and parcel of UCS SACCO’s corporate social responsibility with which the institution undertakes in order to complement government efforts towards social welfare. 

UCS SACCO’s head of member service, Albert Fuka Moyo, described the donation as a response to a need that was brought to the attention of UCS SACCO’s Chief Executive Officer, Francis Waliwa, when he visited Nkhotakota DHO earlier this year. 

“As an institution, we have a mandate to change lives, which is why we keep on supporting the communities that we serve. I am optimistic that this particular donation will improve patient welfare in the sense that patients will no longer stand for long hours whilst waiting to receive medical attention,” said Moyo. 

In an acceptance speech on behalf of the hospital, Nkhotakota District Office (DHO) Medical officer, Dr. Mussa Kambona, acknowledged the facility’s shortage of furniture, noting that the available chairs are inadequate.  

Dr. Kambona has since thanked United Civil Servants SACCO for the donation, describing it as timely as patients brace up for a good experience as they wait for medical services at the hospital.
