The medical equipment was received by staff of Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital.

"We are very grateful for this kind donation from Collins, who has been a friend to Whisper's since the hospital was established in 2016. The equipment he has donated will go a long in helping us provide oxygen and breathing support in the infants born with complications that require immediate attention," said Dr. Emem Offong, the Medical Director at Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital.
