The TNM publicist urged soccer followers to join the company as it celebrates 10 years of Super League sponsorship with a ceremonial match involving KB and a fans chosen Super League select side at Civo Stadium this afternoon.

District Health Officer for Dowa Peter Makoza, who received the donation on behalf of the hospital hailed TNM and Kamuzu Barracks for the gesture.

“This is a very commendable initiative by TNM and we are very thankful to Kamuzu Barracks for choosing Dowa.

“We had a shortage of the items that have nimbeen donated and some of the equipment we were using is quite old. This donation will not only help Dowa District Hospital but the entire district,” said Makoza.

The donated items included a patient trolley, three wheel chairs, delivery bed with mattresses, a pulse oximeter finger tip, 15 gumboots, 20 heavy-duty aprons and 12 Bp machines.
