Rihanna gave $1.75m for Barbados cancer care; centre still treats patients

In 2012, Rihanna made a generous donation of $1.75 million in medical equipment to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Barbados, honoring her late grandmother Clara Brathwaite. This contribution not only modernized the hospital's cancer-care services but also established the Clara Brathwaite Centre.
