The doctor of the bank hospital, Dr. Papy Mambo, also praised this action, stressing that she meets urgent needs in this medical establishment which not only welcomes leper but also outpatient patients.
The products, he assured, will be used effectively for the benefit of patients who, immediately after distribution, each received a package of care for their regular treatment.
