🌿 A Warm Welcome to Our Physiotherapist! 🌿
We are excited to introduce Patience Tembo, our new physiotherapist at Mulanje Mission Hospital. With a passion for helping people regain independence she brings valuable skills and dedication to our team.

👩‍⚕ What does physiotherapy mean at MMH?
Every day, our rehabilitation department supports patients with:
- Bone, joint and muscle problems such as back pain or arthritis
- Problems with the brain and nerves such as stroke or head injury
- Long-term conditions and disabilities such as cerebral palsy or amputation.

💙 Why it matters
In a rural community like Mulanje, patients often miss out on rehabilitation. Patients may recover from an illness but struggle to walk, return to work or care for their families. Our department aims to reduce pain, regain strength, improve balance and increase independence. Rehabilitation restores hope and dignity, enabling people to live fuller lives.

If you or a loved one needs rehabilitation support; our doors are open!

🌱 Empowering Volunteers for Healthier Communities 🌱
21 dedicated volunteers completed a two-day training at Mulanje Mission Hospital to learn skills in supporting our Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) clinics.

👉 NCDs are long-term illnesses like diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), asthma, epilepsy, cancer and heart disease. In Malawi, they now account for about 40% of all deaths, making them one of the biggest health challenges after HIV/AIDS.

During the training, volunteers learned to measure vital signs, calculate BMI, check blood sugar, and give clear health talks on prevention and healthy lifestyles. These skills will help them serve patients at our hospital and in rural outreach clinics.
Equipping community volunteers helps close gaps in healthcare and results in longer, healthier lives. 💚

“What’s been really beneficial is that from a leadership perspective, MMH really sees sustainable livelihoods and ecosystem health very much connected to public health. In other words, if you don’t have healthy ecosystems, then it’s very hard to have a healthy public.”

The CEO of Greenpop, one of our partners, gave an interview about their climate resilience work with us. Wonderful to work together towards a sustainable Mulanje!

Mattanja Oosterhuis from the Netherlands will take on a cycling tour of over 220 km on her three wheel bike, to raise funds for Mulanje Mission Hospital.

Mattanja knows what it means to receive good healthcare. In 2010 she survived a brain hemorrhage with a lasting effect on her life. Her balance, energy, vision, and memory where affected. With God’s care and incredible perseverance, she’s able to take on this remarkable challenge.

Her goal: to support 80 admissions of patients who would otherwise not be able to pay. About €1,400 or MWK 2,800,000.

Thank you Mattanja for this wonderful initiative!
