“We are looking for a continued mutual beneficial relationship between the Alexandra Hospital and the Maternal Health Fund. I know that the patients of the Obstetrics Unit, Maternity Unit will benefit tremendously from this monitor and we would like to express thanks on behalf of the patients as well who will be utilising this equipment,” Matron Dias said.

“I want to say that it is in health services that we are to invest boost because everybody’s arrow points to the hospital. We may have in our heads that we may travel overseas for specialised care but you are prepared for specialised care from here and, as such, we would like to engage as many people as possible in helping us to meet the needs of the hospital,” Minister Daniel said. ~~Adz:Left~~
