Amai Dr. AUXILLIA MNANGAGWA from the 10th Edition of Merck Foundation Africa Asia Luminary – 2023. She expressed, "It is great to be present here with my dear sisters First Ladies of Africa today for this very significant and meaningful conference: the 10th edition of Merck Foundation Africa Asia Luminary, taking place in this beautiful country, India where we send our doctors to conduct Merck Foundation scholarships of clinical training in many critical and underserved medical specialties. As we celebrate today the 6th Anniversary of our long-term partner Merck Foundation. Congratulations to Senator, Rasha Kelej and Prof. Frank for the remarkable achievements throughout the last six years of Merck Foundation, and the exceptional 11-year journey of Capacity Building Programs in Africa. Your contributions to our continent are truly commendable. Through our long-term partnership, and as the Ambassador of Merck Foundation More Than a Mother, we have provided more than 100 scholarships to young Zimbabwean doctors in 32 critical and underserved specialties. I take my role of Ambassador of Merck Foundation More than a Mother very seriously and work in collaboration with our Ministries to sensitize our communities and rural areas to break the stigma around infertile women and to empower them through access to information, education, health and change of mindset. We also organized three editions of Merck Foundation Health Media Training for journalists to educate them on how to be the voice of the voiceless and raise awareness on sensitive issues like breaking infertility stigma. We will soon organize this training again, before the end of this year. On behalf of the people of Zimbabwe, we welcome the long-term partnership with Merck Foundation to build health care capacity, media capacity and address the health and social challenges in our beautiful country." We are making history together.
