NEW YORK — Madonna says the children’s wing at a hospital in Malawi she has been building for two years completed its first surgery last week and will officially open July 11. Madonna adopted four children, David Banda, Mercy James, Stelle and Estere from Malawi. The pop star’s charity, Raising Malawi, has built schools in Malawi and has funded the new pediatric unit, which began construction in 2015. The children’s unit includes three operating rooms dedicated to children’s surgery, a day clinic and a 45-bed ward. Madonna founded Raising Malawi in 2006 to address the poverty and hardship endured by Malawi’s orphans and vulnerable children.
