State President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, President of Malawi, has commissioned Osiyana Rural Hospital in Traditional Authority Mlolo, Nsanje.
The President has been in Lowershire for official duties, accompanied by First Lady Madame Monica Chakwera.
Upon arrival, he was met by Minister of Health Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda, Nsanje District Council Chairperson Cassim Ngwale, and senior government and party officials.
The hospital will serve 17,000 families, many of whom were displaced by Tropical Cyclone Freddy in 2022.
Before its construction, people had to travel long distances to access healthcare, according to Council Chairperson Ngwale.
Ngwale praised President Chakwera for bringing electricity to the hospital, a significant development for the community.
