Mbare Residents Celebrates Free Medical Aid & First Aid Training!

Jubilation, pomp and funfair aptly describe Mbare Ward 4, residents atmosphere following a roll-out of the Presidential Medical Scheme held in collaboration with Discovery Ambulance Services (DAS) free medical assistance and Basic First Aid training.

The initiative, led by DAS founder and CEO, Cde David Munowenyu, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Child Care, aims to equip communities with essential life-saving skills and immediate access to emergency medical services.

Residents are enthusiastic about the training, which empowers them to respond effectively in emergencies.

“I am very happy that we can now learn how to handle emergencies in our community,” said Mrs. Grace Chikowore, a local resident.
