As Malawi continues to sail through troubled waters, something which President Peter Mutharika has admitted lately, the health sector remains on the hardest hit ones.
Reports reaching this publication indicate that Rumphi district hospital is in total shambles due to shortage of a variety of basic necessities at the facility.
Among the most notable problems said to be currently rocking the facility is food shortage.
The food situation is so serious such that most of the patients are being advised to find their own ways of accessing something to eat.
Separate information shows that the hospital is also running without adequate supply of drugs and other important equipment required in testing diseases such that the hospital is referring small cases to Mzuzu Central Hospital
Though there was no immediate comment from the district health officer for the district, medical personnel at the facility confirmed the development to this paper.
“The most noteworthy problem is that of food. I can confirm to you that we have this problem here such that it’s dragging some operations. Another problem is shortage of some drugs, this is making us refer even small problems to Mzuzu central hospital,” said the medic who opted for anonymity.
This is happening barely some weeks after the Rumphi Civil Society Network petitioned the Peter Mutharika led government to address challenges affecting the health sector in the district.
The network among other things urged government to make sure hospitals receive adequate funding for their operations.
However, according to representatives of the network, government is yet to respond to their petition.
Other hospitals that have also been dancing to the same tune include Chiradzulu,Chikwawa and Mangochi.

I don’t support any donor,no donor will give money without any condition attached,Saudi will make sure some Islamic ethos should be applied to exchange with their money,no devil is better than the other one,its time Malawi should think more about economic independence.

The solution could the industrial hemp. What we need is to plant the industrial hemp and have machines to process at least some products. Here we shall be able to export and earn foreign currency. The government would have collected enough money to run everything. There are 36 countries doing this already and see how they live. In Malawi we have very good soils that allow almost 88% of the crops grown around the planet. So why is it that we are complaining about financial issues while we have answers at hand. If I were you Malawi24 I would unanimously publish articles which would ask people to present the suggested solutions to on going problems and not publishing critics and worrisome articles. What we need is change. People should not live as if they are in 50s. People are busy with gay rights and not our problems. Let us be focused and toss Mother Malawi’s head so that she wakes up and lead. We are the Malawi of today lets wake up and prepare the future of our children. Bravo Mother Malawi for a good soil.
