The Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) report indicates that Nkhulambe heath centre in Phalombe district is one of the most affected health facilities following the floods and gigantic debris from Mulanje mountain caused by Cyclone Freddy.
The report says the area received a high rainfall of 1078 mm which is higher than the average normal amount for the area.
This puts the government on pressure to source US$18 million which is about K18 billion to reconstruct the health facility.
“Nkhulambe received 241.0mm 458.6 mm and 363 .2 mm of rain on march 12 13 and 14 respectively,” says the report.
Speaking in an interview after visiting the facility, Commissioner for disaster and management affairs ,Charles Kalemba said the magnitude of the damage is indescribable.
“This is one of the structures that need billions of kwacha to be reconstructed,”he said.
But the area is now reachable after road rehabilitated by Malawi Defense force.
