Journalists in Chipata on Monday took time to do charity work at Chipata General Hospital ahead of the World Press Freedom Day, which falls on May 3rd.
The journalists, who are members of Chipata Press Club, cleaned the Mother’s Shelter and swept the premises of the building.
And the Senior Hospital Administrator, Webster Chisaka commended the Press Club for the works done saying that the good gesture shown to the hospital should also be extended to other departments.
Mr Chisaka says that different people go to the hospital to be treated and as such a conducive and clean environment should be maintained.
He says the hospital is putting up many more new structures with the help of the government and that over 100,000 Kwacha rebased has been spent.
He called for the public to work hand in hand with journalists and give them support, to build and not to destroy, as press freedom day is commemorated.
This year’s World Press Freedom Day will be commemorated under the theme, “Safety for Journalists and Media Workers.”
