MBABANE– The Taiwan Embassy and Taiwan Medical Mission continue to show love for the Kingdom of Eswatini.
The Taiwan Africa Vegetable Initiative has been taken to Maphalaleni Inkhundla, this is also where people were to provide clinical service medicine and daily health.
Taiwan set up tents at Lubhaceni Primary School, helping over 500 patients with different medical problems and medication.
Residents raved about the services they received, saying that they were so grateful.
“Today was a blessing in disguise, not only did we learn how to grow our own food but we further got free medical help,” said Cynthia Vilane from the area.
Another resident said they needed medical help because clinics were located in distant places around the area.
“Today was such a blessed day, we are grateful for the initiative by the Taiwan Government. We are forever indebted to them,” said Mavela Zibuko.
Meanwhile, the Principal of Lubhaceni Primary School Mphumelelo Ginindza said they were thankful to Taiwan for helping them.
“𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔. 𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚. 𝑰 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝑬𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒊 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓,” he said.
Worth noting is that Taiwan bears the idea of Health For All to promote health care, and Taiwan will continue to help more and more emaSwati.
Clement Mamba who was grateful to the doctors from Taiwan as it is difficult for the residents to receive medical consultation, said the initiative was good and wished that more imiphakatsi can receive it. Another resident, Nomthandazo Simelane, thanked the MP and the mission for the work they have done for the communities and also encouraged Emaswati to take advantage of these services.
