Minister of Health Atupele Muluzi has condemned medical personnel who steal drugs and medical equipment in the county’s public hospitals.
Muluzi said despite different warnings on the same, cases of drug theft continue to rise in the health sector.
He said the ministry is working hard to deal with this matter which he said is affecting people in the country.
“As the ministry of health we are making sure this problem of stealing drugs and medical equipment should end by recruiting medical personnel who love their job,” he said.
The minister therefore warned health workers involved in drug theft that they will face the law and receive stiff punishments.
Muluzi added that people working in public hospitals should be transparent and accountable enough when conducting their duties.
He then asked partners to work hand in hand with the ministry by creating awareness through sensitisation campaigns in parts of the country.
The minister also pleaded with the general public to be patriotic by reporting the perpetrators to police in order to deal with the matter.

Actually I didn’t read the post, assistant lecturer in anthropology at the Catholic University of Malawi, said the roots of the vampire scares were in ‘economic hardships and inequalities’.
‘It’s the rich versus the poor. The poor believe the rich are greedy and are sucking the blood of poor people,’ he said.
Malawi is largely reliant on foreign aid, but some locals view the assistance with suspicion.
‘To villagers, the thinking is that no gift is for free… you pay back through blood,’ said Mtuta.
He has researched the vampire phenomenon and has warned that violence would ‘resurface unless the government learns how to handle contemporary issues’.
McDonald Kolokombe, a clerk at the state-run Likhubula forest reserve, noted that the number of tourists visiting the Mulanje area had collapsed since mid-September.
‘The communities rely on visitors to feed their families working as tour guides, porters and selling curios,’ he said.
‘We are starving because of a bad rumour about blood suckers,’ added amateur tour guide Eric Yohane. ‘It is a big lie.’
nice to hear but no “link” or relationship wth drug theft……is there any??
That’s why I said I didn’t read the post!.I hope you need sign language neh?
