Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo (Retired NBA star) To the NBA world he is knowns as Mutombo, He is a living proof of one of God's miracles, When you ask for little you get little when you ask boldly for the unthinkable then God has its way to meet your need, As a fifteen years old growing in the Old Congo, living in an area struck by a serious disease , and he made a bold statement that one day he would build a hospital that would take care of everyone in the area!! In 1997, Mutombo with the Mutombo Foundation began plans to open a $29 million, 300-bed hospital on the outskirts of his hometown, the Congolese capital of Kinshasa. Ground was broken in 2001, but construction didn't start until 2004, as Mutombo had trouble getting donations early on although Mutombo personally donated $3.5 million toward the hospital's construction.[16] Initially Mutombo had some other difficulties, almost losing the land to the government because it was not being used and having to pay refugees who had begun farming the land to leave. He also struggled to reassure some that he did not have any ulterior or political motives for the project.[16] However, the project has been on the whole very well received at all social and economic levels in Kinshasa.[16] On August 14, 2006, Dikembe had donated $15 million to the completion of the hospital for its ceremonial opening on September 2, 2006. The hospital was by then named Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital, named for his late mother, who died of a stroke in 1997.[19][dead link] When it opened in February 2007, the $29 million facility became the first modern medical facility to be built in that area in nearly 40 years.[20] His hospital is on a 12-acre (49,000 m2) site on the outskirts of Kinshasa in Masina, where about a quarter of the city's 7.5 million residents live in poverty. It is minutes from Kinshasa's airport and near a bustling open-air market. The hospital has full telemedicine capabilities with the United States and Europe through the network established by Medical Missions for Children. |
