Saturday September 1st 2018 marked a remarkable outpouring of love and contributions by several donors and stakeholders at the African Women Honors & Empowerment Fundraiser for beds and BP machines needed at the Bwaila maternity ward. The vision is to help this clinic to better cater to expectant mothers and their newborns, by making motherhood safer, knowing this is not only the responsibility of the government but a shared responsibility of society. It was a very colourful evening affair with everyone looking so gorgeous, prestigious and beautiful in a well decorate banquet at the Sunbird Capital Hotel.
The Minister of health, Honourable Atupele Muluzi was in attendance to support this initiative. During his speech, Honourable Muluzi said "the government is working tirelessly to provide necessary equipment for the growing numbers of mothers who are now accessing maternity services, the ministry find it impressive to have partners who are willing to support the cause"
At the fundraiser, the Principal Secretary from the Ministry of Health, Dr Dan Namalika said "Bwaila hospital is one busiest maternity facility in the country as it caters for all surrounding health centres in Lilongwe and nearby districts. The maternity unit is also said to be one old wing with a minimal bed capacity to cater for the growing population. It only has one theatre despite its busy operations. Government is working to construct a theatre and have a resident Doctor at Area 25, Kawale, Kabudula and others to try to ease congestion at Bwaila.
An official from the Lilongwe Asian Business Community, Mr Razak Kassam pledge the support of the Association's support current and future that programs at the African women honors and empowerment in Malawi.
