            In June 2022, hospitalized patients especially and particularly appreciated the spinach of the hospital’s spinach; “I was preparing my spinach as usual and bringing the patients their meals. After a while, I was called by one of them. I wondered what was going on. It was quite simply that the meal was delicious, the patient told me”, says Miss ANTHO, the chef at CHPAH.

            Another patient after being discharged from hospital asked his family to come back to the hospital to get the spinach recipe he discovered there. Like what, to work wonders like Mom Antho does, you don’t necessarily need to resort to the taught mountain truffles or sheep from Australia in Kinshasa.

            I like the hospital because I eat there like at home, said another patient. We thank all the patients who appreciate our cuisine and promise to do more so that in the hospital they enjoy their food like home. Enjoy your meal.
