Mutombo opens $29 Million Hospital in the Congo Dikembe Mutombo will fulfil a lifelong dream soon, opening a hospital in the Congo named for his late mother. The Houston Rockets centre, who donated $15 million US to the project, will open the doors to the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital and Research Center on Sept. 2. The 300-bed hospital will provide health care to people in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Mutombo was born. "We were very close," Mutombo said yesterday in a telephone interview. "To do something of this calibre in the name of your beloved mom, it will mean a lot not just to me but to the people of Congo." He created the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation in 1997, the year his 64-year-old mother died. The $29-million hospital and research centre will include a pediatric wing, surgery suites and a women's centre. www.blackamericaweb.com/site.aspx/entertainment/index/mutombo081706
