Madonna Celebrates Opening Children's Hospital Ward in Malawi

The pop-singer beamed with pride as she attended the opening of a new children's wing at a hospital funded by her charity Raising Malawi. The new wing has taken two years to build and contains three operating theatres and a 50-bed ward. The singer named The Mercy James Institute for Paediatric Surgery and Intensive Care after her daughter who she adopted from the country.
