While in the labour ward, employees from Infraworks Development Limited taking part in the Mother's Fun Run Sleepover Challenge rushed out to assist an expectant mother who had just arrived for delivery at Kasungu District Hospital.

The patient, Agness Nyirenda said she started bleeding at 4 pm at her home at Chigogo village but could not reach the facility due to fuel issues.
