Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Malawi
Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Blantyre, Malawi is a major teaching hospital where more than 11,000 mothers deliver each year. Ammalife has a long-standing partnership with the obstetrics and gynaecology department at QECH which has involved staff exchanges, research, provision of practical supplies and working with Birmingham Women’s Hospital to support a link between the two hospitals.
Malawi Association of Obstetric Clinical Officers
The Malawi Association of Obstetric Clinical Officers (MAOCO) was formed in October 2014 by Malawian graduates of the project to bring together Clinical Officers for education and professional development. A strong partnership has developed between Ammalife and (MAOCO) which has involved knowledge sharing and joint program fundraising.
