eSwatini: Pope lends support to the Catholic Hospital of Siteki

Pope Francis has made a donation of two portable ventilators with stands, ten boxes of surgical masks, 10 boxes of N95 masks and pulse monitors to Good Shepherd Catholic Hospital in Siteki, eSwatini, to support ongoing efforts in the fight against the Covid-19.

eSwatini has had over 34,000 confirmed cases of the Covid-19 infection since the pandemic began, with just over 900 deaths. Vaccination efforts are still ongoing in the country that used to be known as “Swaziland” up until 2018.
