Direct support from The Billy Riordan Memorial Trust continues.
The sourcing and procurement of drugs continues to be both difficult and expensive in Malawi.
The sourcing and procurement of drugs continues to be both difficult and expensive in Malawi. Further support for the clinic in this area is now provided by The Trust. Drugs for several NCD clinics held monthly are funded by the Trust including asthma, hypertension, epilepsy and diabetes clinics The bi- annual schools bilharzia treatment programme is also funded by the Trust. All drugs and medication are provided free to in- patients. This programme funded by BillysmalawiprojectUSA.
Our partnership with CHAM has allowed the Trust to focus funds on capital expenditure in a way that was not previously possible. The purchase of some new diagnostic and monitoring equipment has taken place and further purchases are imminent.
Accommodation for local medical staff is an ongoing issue which needs to be resolved. Once suitable land has been purchased, The Trust will undertake to build a number of houses for our permanent medical staff.
This change of structure has been a necessary and successful development for the clinic. The construction of a maternity unit is in the planning stages. New health programmes including a women’s health programme have commenced and further programmes are envisioned.
