At the event, promoted this Friday by Tmcel (Moçambique Telecom, SA) at the Infulene Psychiatric Hospital (HPI), Maputo, the company offered non-perishable food and hygiene products to patients in the health unit.
The initiative, part of the telecommunications company’s corporate social responsibility actions, “intends to transmit the values of humanism, peace and hope, comforting, above all, the most vulnerable social layers”.
For the head of Tmcel’s Corporate Communication and Social Responsibility Office, Ana Bela Margarido, socializing with patients hospitalized at the HPI was a unique and important moment for the company.
“We want to reiterate our commitment to supporting these causes, particularly among the least favoured strata,” she said.
The director of HPI, Serena Chachuaio, welcomed the initiative, classifying it as a “noble, human gesture that makes a difference, particularly when it is aimed at people suffering from mental illnesses, who have often been stigmatized by their families”.
The HPI currently hosts a total of 70 resident patients and specialises in the treatment of mental illness and drug addiction.
Besides the prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and social reintegration of patients, the hospital carries out outpatient consultations for psychiatric, general medicine and paediatric patients.
