Malawi has the potential to achieve good health for all citizenry if stakeholders complementing governments efforts in the improvement of health sector are committed to service.
The director made the sentiments on 12th June in Zomba when the organization handed over computers, motorbikes, as well as personal protective equipment to the Zomba District Health Office following the completion of its four-year PROMISE project.
The Project which was being funded by the Global Affairs Canada which targeted health centres in Zomba, aimed at reducing maternal and child mortality in the district.
During the presentations, the director indicated that the project has registered a high level of male involvement in escorting their spouses for antenatal clinics, capacity building in health surveillance assistants, communities adopting backyard gardens and improvement of nutrition statuses of under-five children.
“the project has also boosted hygiene and sanitation in the district hence handing over this equipment for the government to sustain the seed we have planted in the catchment area.” He said.
Speaking after receiving the items, Zomba district environmental health officer innocent Mvula described the consignment as timely saying the computers will help the facility in keeping real-time data as well as motorbikes will ease mobility challenges in rural health centres. “the impact that the project has had in the catchment area cannot be overemphasized and we are committed to sustain it as well as manage these materials prudently until maternal and neonatal deaths are condensed in the district,” he said.
