Adam Molai brings free medical services to Marondera

Medical personnel from Mahusekwa District Hospital attend to members of the Marondera community

The Adam Molai Foundation (AMF) last week held the first of its health and wellness outreach event in Marondera where 195 people had the opportunity to consult doctors from Mahusekwa District Hospital in Wedza.

Members of the community also received health and wellness advice from various practitioners.

AMF, which is dedicated to uplifting communities, is keen to promote better health and wellness for the less privileged members of the local community.

The event was the second by the organisation having been launched last year in September when 250 people were attended to.

Adam Molai Foundation executive director Nomagugu Nyaundi said they were excited to bring the health and wellness outreach to Marondera once again.

“We believe that as a philanthropic organisation, we must do more to complement government’s thrust to provide accessible and affordable health as well as vital health information to everyone, especially the underprivileged,” she said.

“This outreach is an important step in creating a healthy and fit community.”

Apart from medical consultations, participants listened to presentations and held discussions about critical health topics on the prevention of conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer screening and drug abuse.

Advice on maintaining balanced nutrition and general health and wellbeing was shared to the appreciative members of the Marondera community.

Nyaundi said the AMF was committed to holding similar quarterly outreach events this year and is indebted to partners who made the event possible.

“We appreciate the support of our partners who have made this and our first outreach last September, a success,” she said.

“The Ministry of Health and Child Care has designated doctors and nurses from Mahusekwa District Hospital to assist us.

“Also worth mentioning is the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Nyaradzo – Friends of the Environment, Sanitary Aid Zimbabwe, Proton Bakery and, of course, the Seventh Day Adventist church.”

The members of the community of all ages thronged the two-day event at the Seventh Day Adventist church facilities in Cherutombo suburb and Marondera East.

Attendance was open to people of all ages and consultations were free of charge.

The Adam Molai Foundation was founded in 2016 with the aim to support disadvantaged communities in Zimbabwe.
