They made their courtesy call in Wards 2A, 2B and 3B where they interacted with the patients — both females and males.
Team leader, Dorothy Kachitsa said this is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR), which Globe Internet Limited enhances in order to appreciate the support they receive from customers.

“It was also to wrap up the celebration of Mothers Day, taking cognizance that most of the patients they were to visit and cheer were mothers,” she said.
“We engaged the hospital management who enlighten us on the areas needed to be assisted in the wards at the hospital and we chose the two wards because they have patients that need special care.
“Ward 2A cares for cancer patients, 2B for chronic renal diseases and 3A for TB. At the TB ward, we mostly gave the gifts to patients that were referred to Queens from district hospitals and a number of them were from Nsanje.”
She said this is not the first CSR drive they have hosted, saying they visited patients at the female ward at Chiradzulu District Hospital and they have supported a number of activities including World Kidney Day commemorations.
“As a company, we are also sponsoring the airing of a TV program, ‘Apolisi Ndife’, which promotes an understanding of how the Malawi Police Service works.
“In December every year, we organise a Christmas Carol Choir Competition and we urge interested choirs to register and participate. We also want to close the year on a high note by giving back to the community.”
