Malawi Nurses

Malawi government through the ministry of health has urged nurses to be entrepreneurs arguing that government cannot manage to employ all the graduating students in the country.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony for St Joseph and St Luke Nursing Colleges, principal secretary for the ministry of health McPhail Magwira urged the nurses to have creative minds that can help them to be entrepreneurs.

“If you got me correctly in my speech, I was urging them to be entrepreneurs, because we can’t manage to employ them all, today we have over 300 graduates, last time we had over 1000 nurses who graduated as well,” said Magwira.

He added that the nurses can still help in serving Malawians by working in other hospitals within the country.

“But this doesn’t mean that they are to go outside the country, we have private hospitals that might need their skills, and they can come up with something in the world of entrepreneurship, we can benefit a lot as a country,” added Magwira.

Following financial woes in the country, government announced that it has temporarily stopped employing people to work as civil servants. During the 2016/17, budget presentation Malawi minister of finance Goodall Gondwe said government is to employ teachers only to work as civil servants in the country.

  4. The government has lost its direction, why train nurses, doctors, clinical officers, medical assistants, only to be told no job .what a waste government.

  5. We need to look both sides of the coin… Do we have enough hospitals where these nurses can work? It has been my observation more people are trained as nurses but few hospitals. Again if we look into other departments ie Police, Army, etc these departments train or recruit according to the need. So i see no reason why the Gvt should be blamed

    This is not the time using our Education to get jobs.. Use your education for business. Wakeup guys!!!

    2. Inno Dongolosi I can’t tell the type of business… When you go for a course DONT expect only to be employed, but a course you can do your own things……

  37. Give the president a break! Dr Magwira was speaking in his personal capacity. This is not the position of of the DPP Governmrnt led by Prof. APM. Its a policy matter and its only the President who who can go on a public and what he says becomes policy thereafter. The rest of the civil servants what they think must be approved to become a policy. What PS Magwira said has not been approved by Government

  53. Bola ife aphunzitsi tmakhala ndi ma parttimes,nanga manurse?

  64. it is common knowledge that the nurse:_patient ratio in government hospitals is high. This situation is dire in rural areas. However, it is a well known fact that we, the plebeians, poor pple, are the ones who seek nursing services from such hospitals. The policy makers can afford medical attention at a private clinic or abroad….of course the bill in some cases being shouldered by the citizens. No wonder policy makers can indeed make such a decision as it will not affect them as much as it will affect the common person. Muxh as the economic climate is riddled with challenges, tthis decision is NOT the right way to go if one considers how far Malawi is in as far as the provision of quality health care delivery is concerned

  94. So government would rather persist with 66% nursing vacancies than hold those responsible for looting its finances accountable. On whose behalf are they governing?

  95. Why doesn’t the government close all the nursing schools than wasting other people’s time and money over something meaningless.

  99. The driver is to blame coz has no vision! Do not know where to go!

    If hospitals hav enough workers y train others?

    The fact is the government has no money, dziko lawakanika kuyendesa ili, matama basi!
