Chairperson for the club, Adams Wundaninge stated that the donation was made to support the hospital, emphasizing that those in hospital are among the community members whom journalists serve.

“While celebrating 60 years of independence, much as we journalists serve the community by informing them, patients here are among those we serve, while in hospital, they need our helping hand hence the donation which we hope will have a meaningful impact,” he said.

He has since called on well-wishers to assist people at the hospital, highlighting the need for more support in various areas.

Director of Health and Social Services (DHSS), David Sibale lauded the club for the donation, describing as a timely donation.
