WOLIM City Centre Branch pastor, Busisa Moyo told The Chronicle the church had partnered with various service providers to effect the free health check up.

Service providers who will be participating include National Blood Transfusion, Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council, Zimbabwe Republic Police, Childline, National Aids Council, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights and Population Services International,” said Pastor Moyo.
He said the church had grown spiritually and numerically over the years because of residents’ support.
“As WOLIM we recognise that our success is embedded in the community in which we operate. As a church we’re giving back to the community by availing free basic health checks and professional services,” he said.
