A medical facility funded by Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity, and named after her daughter Mercy James, is set to officially open its doors Tuesday.
The Mercy James Institute for Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, which was also opened with help from the country’s ministry of health, is located at Blantyre, Malawi’s Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.
It will help the hospital ‘double the number of surgeries performed on children each year and will increase the chance of survival after critical surgeries,’ the singer’s charity said.
