Kumpalume thanked the Norwegian Embassy as well as the people of Germany for supporting Malawi in reducing maternal and newborn deaths.

“We are always grateful to the Norwegian Embassy and people from Germany for the support they render to programs looking into maternal and newborn health,” said Kumpalume.

He added that the number of women giving birth in hospitals is increasing because of the funds partners have been giving to the ministry and this is leading to reduced number of maternal and new born deaths.
