The Malawi government through the ministry of health has sent seven doctors overseas to be trained on how to treat cancer patients in the country.
Confirming the development, minister of health Peter Kumpalume told Malawi24 on Wednesday that government has thought of training the doctors to increase the number of doctors who can professionally help in treating cancer in the country.
He said it is worrisome to learn that the whole country has only two trained doctors who are capable of treating the deadly disease.
The seven are expected be done with their training soon after the completion of construction works on the proposed cancer centre.
“We have thought of boosting the number of doctors so that at least cancer patients must be treated efficiently. Currently we have only two, which is not that good considering the number of patients suffering from the disease,” he said.
Commenting on the progress of government’s plans to construct a cancer centre in the country, Kumpalume said they are done with the identification of the contractor and now they are waiting for approval from the donors who will contribute funds for the construction.
He said: “The cancer centre will help government to save about MK1 billion it spends for sending patients abroad for treatment every year. Records show that money amounting to MK10 million has to be spent every year to send one patient, so the centre will help a lot.”
Thumbs up gvt.

That’s great but don’t forget to send Samuel Bingo from kamuzu central,he is a very hardworking person.
Great job by government. But when they return they run to work in private clinics 70%of their time to add money .they just go to register present and leave just receiving government salary yaulele.kuchipatala ma dr a specialised amachita kusowa osapeka chosecho tawaphuzitsa kuti athandize anthu osauka mboma.amapezeka ndi ma volunteer otiso sometimes they just want to try their new tecs and meds on us. Anzathu kwina DR ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON DUTY EVEN AT NIGHT.OSA KUNO CLINICAL OFFICER NDE WA NIGHT .DOKOTALA MASANA KOMANSO ACHITE KUNYENGELELA AS AMATI NDI MA BWANA

Speechless. Instead of aplauding gvt for what it has done but you are busy talking nonsense. Who are you? Am not adpp fan,but ihate your comment.
by da way yo english z very wrong…go bak to school..kape
Which part of my speech is showing incompetence? You are so stupid. You are the one who is supposing to go back to school because you are failing to thank gvt.You have shown your wildly behaviour. Shit!! Do you know me?Idiot
Gama kusayamikakutu it’s lineage/inheritance from his parents. Zoti azilongwache ndi amache atha kukwapulidwa ndi breast/cervical cancer sakudziwa n’kudziwa komwe.
That’s sounds great & helpfull movement! but the problem is those pipos once they graduated & called DR they start to think that they are above every one else in that Country. The moment U call them the Dr they think of going out of Country ( abroad forgetting of whom they pull them up from underground level)
True and they run to work in private clinics 70%of their time to add money .they just go to register present and leave just receiving government salary yaulele.kuchipatala ma dr a specialised amachita kusowa osapeka chosecho tawaphuzitsa kuti athandize anthu osauka mboma.amapezeka ndi ma volunteer otiso sometimes they just want to try their new tecs and meds on us.
