Attack the pharmacy technicians. We graduate from the same college three years but within a year he/ she has acquired everything and is driving? Audit query! Find out this I am saying. They connive either with the DHOs or the Health center staff. Anthu oyipa amenewa, ife ma clinician kulimbikira chilimbikililenicho but no-one recognizes until you get frustrated and join NGO or change carrier. Only when you make a mistake ku ward kapena temporary out of OPD, ,the whole world knows. Tiyeni nazoni.

O…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….O “Kill one, to warn a hundred.” – Chinese Proverb This proverb has faithfully served the Chinese well since the beginning of time. This song called ‘drug theft’ has been sung for so long that common hence normal, it has become now. Many have, in the past, been arrested and tried; yet a comedy of sentences is all they get. And such punishments cant deter others. A serious approach needs to be employed thus.

It’s gonna take us ages to root out this behavior and mentality, to be sure. According to APM, a good start would be for all of us to honestly examine our heads; our way of thinking. A new mind-set is in order. As a… Read more »

Mr reporter, thanks for ur bias reporting. Mwangokamba zoipa zokhazokha but he also said some good things.

2. He said Nsanje bein very hot….koma anthu akugwilabe ntchito mozipeleka.
Otherwise, i support what he said, koma zoti ma Nurse ku labour ward amakalipila ma patients…..ndizaboza, not at Nsanje
