“Many hospitals in Malawi lack reliable access to handwashing facilities”
They are not able to, provide hand sanitiser and can’t afford protective equipment for healthcare workers. This means infections can be transmitted between patients, and healthcare workers may themselves contract the virus. Medical staff who will be putting themselves in harm’s way deserve adequate equipment. Whole communities are at risk due to the contact made in hospital settings.
Hospitals in Malawi do not have the resources to manage large numbers of people falling ill with coronavirus and those who become very ill from the virus will be at a high risk of losing their lives. Every mother’s death is a tragedy for the family and community she leaves behind. Her children are particularly vulnerable. Some will not survive if their mothers die.
“Many hospitals lack basic but essentail supplies to deal with Covid-19 “
“Help protect these communities”
To help prevent the spread of infection and protect these communities we are funding the purchase of handwashing stations, soap, paper towels, hand sanitiser and protective equipment for healthcare workers including gowns and face masks. These supplies will be distributed to maternity wards in hospitals across Malawi.

£100.00
