Among the items donated were Baby Cots, a Surgery Unit, a Radiant Warmer, a Paediatric Bed, and a Suctioning Machine.
According to Wendy's team, these vital resources will significantly improve the quality of care provided to newborns and children at the hospital.
Also, the "Survival" hitmaker reiterated the mission of the Wendy Shay Foundation and stressed that they are focused on improving healthcare in the country and supporting those in need.
"As an artist, I believe in using my influence to create positive change," she remarked. "Through the Wendy Shay Foundation, we aim to address pressing social issues and contribute to building a better future for all," Wendy stated.
