Partnership in Medical care, Education and church-based community transformation in Africa
Building local capacity to improve patient care in the fields of surgery and laboratory medicine in Malawi,
and
community development training in Mozambique, Kenya, South Africa and Malawi
​
​
Malawi's health indicators are among the worst in the world, with the Malawian healthcare system ranking 185th out of 190 countries according to the WHO.
To ensure a sustainable, comprehensive, and equitable healthcare system in Malawi, urgent measures such as expanding education and improving diagnostic capacities are needed. It is crucial that high-quality medical care is made accessible to all individuals, particularly the most disadvantaged populations.
How?
-
We are driving the transformation of Nkhoma Hospital into a centrally located national teaching hospital by:
-
Establishing specialized training programs in surgery and laboratory medicine.
-
Building the critical infrastructure required to establish a fully operational national teaching institution.
-
-
We are actively involved in establishing a medical care network, which includes:
-
5 hospitals
-
34 medical clinics
-
​
Why?
A medical network with a central teaching hospital creates national value through:
-
Establishing quality standards.
-
Enhancing efficiency by optimizing resource utilization, resulting in cost reduction.
-
Promoting equal opportunities by providing access to high-quality medical care, even for the most disadvantaged populations.
-
Strengthening local capacities: Graduates of training programs act as multipliers in the network's hospitals, helping address expert workforce shortages and improve healthcare delivery independently of Western aid.
