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 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 actively involved in establishing a national medical care network, which includes:
5 hospitals
34 medical clinics
​
We implement training programs in surgery and laboratory medicine to catalyze the development of the centrally located Nkhoma Hospital into a teaching hospital.
​
Implementation of quality standards Economy of scale (Improved resource utilization = lower cost)
Equity – means of access to quality medical care for even the poorest
Building local capacities: Graduates of the training programs become multipliers in the hospitals of the network and thus address the enormous shortage of experts and medical care - independent of western help.
