FUN FACT FRIDAY
โšก More Reliable Power Supply for MMH! โšก

After more than 10 years of struggling with high and low voltages, countless blown fuses and electrical firesโ€ฆ. our transformer has been revived!

The hospitalโ€™s power supply is complex: an interplay of solar and grid, with high and low-priority circuits and sensitive equipment. The connection to the grid runs through an ESCOM transformer, but the old connections, fuses and cables were worn out and burned in many places.

Thank you to ESCOM for taking this issue seriously and working with us to ensure a safe and reliable power supply.

Good news is worth sharing!

๐ŸŽ‰ Official Opening of Mlatha Health Post! ๐Ÿ’™

Yesterday we officially opened Mlatha Health Post, our 14th outreach clinic under Mulanje Mission Hospital! A good reason to celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰

Located on the western border of our catchment area, this health post will serve hundreds of families who previously had to walk long distances to access care. It was built with the community and for the community, using local bricks and labour.

A heartfelt thank you to our partner Buurtzorg for making this dream a reality and to all the chiefs and community members for their support. Together, we are bringing healthcare within reach of everyone. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๐Ÿ‘ถ

๐Ÿ‘ World Sight Day at Mulanje Mission Hospital! ๐Ÿ‘
This week, we joined the world in celebrating World Sight Day a global event that draws attention to blindness and vision impairment.

Over just two days, our Eye Clinic team screened 230 patients from across Mulanje! Many received reading glasses, others were treated for eye infections or trauma, and many people were scheduled for cataract surgery. Giving sight back to the people was the aim of these two days.

In Malawi, the need for eye care is great:
๐Ÿ”น About 15% of schoolchildren struggle with vision problems that could be corrected with glasses.
๐Ÿ”น Around 3.3% of adults aged 40+ live with blindness, often from preventable causes like cataract.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible and to all who continue to support eye health in Malawi.

๐ŸŒฟ A Warm Welcome to Our Physiotherapist! ๐ŸŒฟ
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.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš• 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.

๐Ÿ’™ 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!

๐ŸŒฑ Empowering Volunteers for Healthier Communities ๐ŸŒฑ
21 dedicated volunteers completed a two-day training at Mulanje Mission Hospital to learn skills in supporting our Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) clinics.

๐Ÿ‘‰ 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. ๐Ÿ’š

โ€œWhatโ€™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 donโ€™t have healthy ecosystems, then itโ€™s very hard to have a healthy public.โ€

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!
