What we are seeing today are the relics of Mphonongo Banda’s regime.During his era,he used more foreign medical hospitals than anybody else,but at last he lost and succumbed to natural demise.We have seen Bakili Muluzi with his associates travelling abroad for medical checkups and treatment and also we had seen unbelievable episodes when Bingu’s dead body was transported to South Africa for treatment using hired Air Ambulance costing thousands of US$ belonging to public funds.There was no need to waste public funds while the rogue thief had already capitulated to death.I have here to give an instance of one of… Read more »

Mzati, all we are saying is that this practice of sending people abroad, ordinary or not, should stop. It can only stop if we have good medical facilities in Malawi. Even sending ordinary people abroad, will it stop our hospitals from further decay and poor facilities? Sending people abroad is not the solution to the shameful poor health service in Malawi. If people want to go abroad for medical treatment, they should use their own money not govt money. If the president, politicians, top govt officials, the famous and rich, choose to go abroad for medical treatment using govt money,… Read more »

Malawi is the poorest, yet the country with the highest inequality levels in the world because the few supposed rich and powerful abuse their wealth and power to grab whatever remaining meager tesources that had initially put aside for the majority poor. Look at the list of real beneficiaries of cashgate (already rich and powerful businessmen), list of those who plundered the tractors from India (powerful politicians and top government officials), priority list for medical referrals (top politicians and government officials), I can go on and on… It is really heartbreaking how the majority poor people are treated in this… Read more »

This is pathetic. Sending people abroad for treatment using govt money should be abolished immediately. They should use their own money. This applies to all govt officials who abuse the system from the president, ministers, MPs, PSs, etc to the lowest ranked official or general citizenry. The only way these selfish politicians and senior govt officials can improve our health services in the country is to abolish their foreign trip treatments funded by the tax payer. Only then would they really pay attention to our shameful hospitals and improve. Themselves when they are sick they just fly to South Africa… Read more »
