Drugs and Supplies in Acute Shortage At 11:18 am on Thursday morning, a senior Nurse from a District Hospital in the Southeastern Malawi called my cell. Her voice reflected desperation. “Can we get medical supplies, catheters or whatever is available? I am standing outside your warehouse.” She continued talking without giving room for a response. “I am sorry madam but we are running out of stock of all medical supplies as well. We have given almost everything out.” I responded. “Though I told her I was 15 kilometers away, and it would be over two hours before I was back... Read more →

Malawi … The father rushes into the ward carrying his critically injured child. The boy had been riding in a minibus that was in a highway accident. He had blood running down his face, and it was obvious he had a broken leg. Behind him 12 more people were entering the district hospital with serious to critical wounds from the head-on collision with a tea carrying lorry. The hospital staff, already stretched beyond their ability to give adequate care, and with the hallway filled with pregnant women about ready to deliver, strains under the additional load. “No, no,” I say...

Queen Elizabeth Hospital Receives Wheelchairs
November 6, 2014
Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital was named after the Queen of England, at its official opening, during a state visit by the Queen Mother in July 1957. The Hospital is the major referral hospital for southern Malawi, and cares for millions of people, with many being referred from other regions of Malawi. Like other health care facilities, this hospital faces an acute shortage of medical supplies, drugs and equipment to meet demand. The population of 16 million relies on government to provide health care, as 80% of the people live below the poverty line. It is not surprising to note that... Read more →
