Patients in the facility are forced to share beds because the facility is having to service needs beyond capacity. Aside from that, the structure of the facility is also wearing out such that as the rains begun, patients and other facilities get soaked.

The issues came out recently when the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority-MACRA. Hospital spokesperson, Banalori Mwamlima, said the hospital has outlived its lifespan and is failing to cope with pressure.

Macra made donations to patients estimated at value K3.7 million.
