The facility’s deputy In-charge Danford Chilambula made the remarks during a donation of 20,000 surgical face-masks and various infrared thermometers from Alliance One Tobacco Malawi in collaboration with Pyxus Agriculture Limited and Imperial Tobacco Group (ITG) of United Kingdom.
The Hospital is used as a referral medical center by other nine satellite clinics with an estimated total catchment area population of about 300.000 including those from the neighboring Mozambique.
