Speaking during donation of the equipment at the health facility on Tuesday, FCB Branch Manager for Ndirande Kondwani Lunda said they believe in giving back to the community.
“As a bank of the people, we believe in giving back to the community hence the donation today. We noted the challenges the facility is facing in the fight against covid-19, so we decided to bail them out,” he said
