Dr. Jane Mayemu Ansah, First Vice President, brought Christmas cheer to Nkhoma Mission Hospital in Lilongwe. Her visit included donating hampers to patients, focusing on newborns and mothers.
The hospital’s role in healthcare is vital, complementing government efforts, Ansah noted. It’s a key Christian referral facility.
Innovation marks the hospital – like producing its own oxygen – earning Ansah’s praise for quality services.
Personal ties link Ansah to Nkhoma: born there, her first child born there too. A touching connection.
The DPP government’s Kamphata-Nkhoma road project improved healthcare access, Ansah said, highlighting progress.
But maternal deaths rose to eight this year (vs one last year), mostly teenage mothers. Ansah stressed tackling early marriages/pregnancies.
Ansah extended festive wishes to hospital staff, patients, and the nation, spreading joy.
Her visit blended compassion and leadership, impacting Nkhoma.
