Chakwera who was seemingly in pains while listening to what happened from the medical staff and patients themselves assured the victims that the government will take good care of them by boosting up the capacity of all health facilities for them to offer necessary treatment to the injured and those in trauma caused by the catastrophe.
President Chakwera also thanked the medical staff for their commitment and passion in working towards serving the citizenry during such times of disaster.
“Two words I can say to you is ‘Thank you’. I commend your dedication to your work. Without you we could have been in a much worse situation than now.” Said President Chakwera.
During the visit, Malawi leader toured emergency section ward, High Dependency Unit, Pediatrician, Women, and Men’s Wards among others.
QECH is receiving cases from all affected districts as it is the major referral health facility in the Southern Region.
