Healthcare in Upper Shire, Malawi

Target: £28,020/€37,360 | Project 282

Providing essential healthcare to the people living in southern Malawi

A quarter of Malawi’s population survive on just one meagre meal a day. Another hardship is the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, which is decimating the working population. Faced with these difficulties, the Anglican Church is reaching out through the provision of vital healthcare.

In the Diocese of Upper Shire, USPG supports two hospitals, a network of health centres covering 12,000 square miles, and a home-based care programme.

St Luke’s, in Malosa, is the oldest of the two diocesan hospitals. It started life in the 1940s as a medical centre for missionaries.
