Prudential Zambia grants K70,000 education policy to formerly conjoined twins | WestMac Media

Prudential Zambia has granted K70,000 education policy to formerly conjoined twins, Mapalo and Bupe. 

Prudential says this insurance cover is the head-start towards their future. 

And Daily Nation reports that prudential chief operations officer Damian McGeown said the policy aims at assisting the children’s firm foundation in their education. 

Mr McGeown added that on the spirit of empowering women through education, Prudential Zambia is proud to make certain that Bupe and Mapalo the nine-months old daughters of Moses and Lydia Mwape are insured for their education that will see them getting a start at becoming the educated leaders that this country needs and to also remove the burden of worrying about their future school fees from their mother. 

He further explained that the education policy represents a K10,000 annual premium towards assuring a bright future to empower the girls to be independent, modern day self-reliant women.

Mapalo and Bupe underwent a successful surgery that changed Zambia’s history. 

Meanwhile, Women and Newborn Hospital acting senior medical superintendent Mulindi Mwanahamuntu has disclosed that Bupe and Mapalo had been discharged from critical care under the hospital, but that they were in hospital to monitor their milestone development. 

He said because they were joined for over six months, there were some activities of growth that have not yet manifested as delayed milestones. 

“They are not patients per say. The hospital has done its job, they were discharged from critical care but they are still with us only for rehabilitation because there are certain things that are slow about them. 

“As you know they were joined for over 6 months and therefore there are some milestones that were slightly delayed and we are keeping them just to make sure we are monitoring these milestones and try to see how quickly they will catch up,” he said. 

Dr Mwanahamuntu has assured the nation that the twins would soon be discharged from hospital to their home village in Kawambwa. 

And the parents have hailed the massive support they had received during their stay at the hospital through the operation up todate. 

Mr Mwape, amid tears, wished for God’s blessings on all those that had helped him, his wife Lydia and his children throughout the period they have been admitted to hospital. 

Adding: “nikumaka yakwa Lesa umwine uwalenga uwalenga ati twikale napano ngefi, ukuti ndele naba abana” (it is with God’s grace that we can even sit here today, and hold my children as I am doing right now).
