MBABANE– Eswatini Nazarene Health Institutions (ENHI) continues to reaffirm its role as a committed national partner by providing medical assistance during the ongoing harvesting of the royal fields at Mfabantfu.
ENHI is a faith-based institution established in 1926 and over the years, has grown into one of the country’s largest non-profit healthcare institutions, currently contributing over 40 per cent of healthcare services nationwide. Through facilities; the Raleigh Fitkin Memorial (RFM) Hospital – a 350-bed regional referral and teaching hospital and a network of 20 community health clinics across all four regions of Eswatini, ENHI collectively serves over 500 000 people annually.
The institution’s continued involvement in this important national initiative highlights ENHI’s dedication to community wellbeing, cultural preservation and service to the nation beyond the walls of its healthcare facilities. Through its active participation, ENHI is demonstrating that quality healthcare is not only about treating patients in hospitals, but also about being present where communities gather and where national programmes are taking place.
Last week, ENHI Chief Executive Officer, Mazwi Mavuso, led a dedicated team from Raleigh Fitkin Memorial (RFM) Hospital during the ongoing harvesting activities at Mfabantfu. This leadership participation as in addition of the already deployed ENHI medical team on-site to provide healthcare services, emergency response support and medical assistance to those taking part in the harvesting programme.
The CEO said as an institution they believe that the presence of healthcare professionals at such national events plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of participants, many of whom spend long hours carrying out physically demanding work in varying weather conditions.
“Immediate access to medical care helps prevent health complications, manage emergencies quickly and promote a safe working environment for everyone involved,” Mavuso said.
Again, he said their involvement also reflects the institution’s broader commitment to supporting national development and strengthening partnerships with the Kingdom of Eswatini. Bystanding alongside communities during cultural and national programmes, the institution continues to build public trust while reinforcing its image as a compassionate and people-centred healthcare provider dedicated to serving emaSwati at every level.
Participation in programmes such as the royal fields harvesting initiative further positions ENHI as an institution that values unity, service and cultural heritage. It also demonstrates a healthcare model that extends beyond clinical treatment and embraces social responsibility, national solidarity and community engagement.
As the harvesting programme continues, ENHI remains proud to contribute towards the health, safety and wellbeing of participants while supporting initiatives that preserve Eswatini’s cultural values and strengthen national unity.
