Edith Duly
The foundation stone for Edith Duly was laid in 1959 but the Home was not fully functional until 1960. It was originally a 24-bed “cottage” hospital intended to serve the Coronation Cottage complex, including Queen Mary House and Ralstein Home. Funds were raised to build the Home and by far the largest donor was Mrs. Edith Duly. In 1967, an additional 26 bed wing was built and over the years, the Home was expanded to accommodate 60 beds. The Lions Club of Matopos assisted in the building of a 14 bed Convalescent Unit which was opened in 1987
