In an effort to improve health facilities in Lesotho, the Queen’s National Trust Fund on Tuesday handed over Oxygen Concentrators to Mohale’s Hoek, Mantšonyane and Mapoteng hospitals at the event held at the Royal Palace in Maseru.
The founder of Queen’s National Trust Fund, Her Majesty Queen ‘Masenate Mohato Seeiso said these machines will help COVID-19 patients to breathe easily and can be used in a situation where there is no Oxygen Concentrators at the clinics to rescue the lives of the patients.
She further noted that people should always remember where they are coming from during the COVID-19 pandemic because most of Basotho’s lives were lost as a result of the virus.
‘We have to make sure that we protect the lives of Basotho and all people in the country hence our intension is to help all health services in the country,” she said.
She also made a plea to all who are willing to help not to hesitate to do so as that will help to improve the trust fund.
Speaking on behalf of the St. James Hospital, Mr. Thabang Pulumo said they are grateful today because they have been recognized by the Queen’s National Trust Fund and at the same time they are in the right direction and with the machines, they are going to help people having problems.
He noted that to them this is a trial that is going to enable them to do better and improve the lives of Basotho and further thanked Her Majesty for doing such a wonderful job of helping Basotho.
Meanwhile, the hospitals that received the gifts are St. James Hospital, Maluti Hospital and Ntsékhe Hospital.
The Queen’s National Trust Fund is a fund set up by Her Majesty, Queen ‘Masenate Mohato Seeiso to assist worthy courses including education for disadvantaged children, providing sanitary towels to girls in Lesotho.
