In a bid to express love, compassion, put smiles on the faces of nursing mothers and their newborns, pregnant mothers and other patients and in honour of his late Mother’s legacy, the Mayor of Bangem Ekungwe Christopher Kang donated gifts and cash at the Bangem District Hospital Hospital.
The Bangem district hospital donation ceremony was part of the one year memorial service of June 22, 2025 of the late Mama Cecilia Munge Ekungwe in Nyan village.
According to Mayor Ekungwe the donation at the hospital was in honour of the late mother whose Christian live was characterized by show of love and support in her own little way for under-served persons in communities, building relationships, and creating a better environment for everyone around her.
“The initiative is to follow in her footsteps but also to bring hope and improve well-being of others, to alleviate poverty by creating a fairer society for the sick, aged, women and children in the hospital.
The Bangem District Hospital Medical Director Dr Essambe Emmanuel on behalf of the hospital management team, expressed profound joy and immense gratitude to the Mayor for improving lives, making the nursing and pregnant mothers, the sick persons in the hospital feel the warmth of love, care and support and also bringing the outreach especially to those in need.
“ This is a laudable gesture by the Bangem Mayor that will go a long way to bring hope to patients in the hospital. I will like to say some patients here have been virtually abandoned by their families. You can imagine what joy they feel with such outreach from a well wisher” he said.
Like Oliver Twist, he appealed that the hospital will be glad to host more of such outreaches in the future.
