Five babies born at the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) have received financial and social support from CRDB Bank in an initiative aimed at securing their future and improving the welfare of their family.
Under the support package, each child has been provided with a bank account containing an initial deposit of Sh1.5 million, alongside shares worth Sh500,000 and a three-year health insurance cover.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Muhimbili National Hospital Executive Director, Dr Delilah Kimambo, said the bank’s intervention reflects its commitment to supporting national efforts to improve maternal and child healthcare.
She noted that the initiative complements the Sixth Phase Government’s efforts under President Samia Suluhu Hassan to strengthen healthcare services for mothers and children across the country.
Dr Kimambo commended CRDB Bank for extending support beyond financial services and contributing directly to the wellbeing of vulnerable families.
Acting Managing Director of CRDB Bank, Mr Bruce Mwile, said the bank recognises the important role played by healthcare professionals at MNH in improving maternal and child health outcomes.
He praised the hospital’s medical staff for their dedication to providing quality healthcare services and ensuring the wellbeing of mothers and newborns.
Mr Mwile said the support package was designed to provide the quintuplets with a strong foundation for their future while helping the family meet economic challenges associated with raising five children at once.
In addition to supporting the children, CRDB Bank opened an account worth Sh4 million for the mother to help her establish income-generating activities and strengthen the family’s financial stability.
The bank also handed over a new Bajaj motorcycle taxi to the father to support productive economic activities and improve the family’s long-term livelihood.
The initiative highlights growing collaboration between the private sector and healthcare institutions in supporting vulnerable families and promoting social welfare in Tanzania.
