Lopsided reasoning,covid 19 has increased the number of the sick and requires close attention meaning more man power, yet you are reducing staff,doesn’t add up.
Give us a better reason, the western countries affected by the pandemic are recruiting from Africa nurses and doctors to beef up you’re doing the opposite, my foot.
Yeee
Dr Wilma is now too old to think properly. He is 77years old. It is time you retire and allow young people to take over.
The Human Resource Manager is a Yes yes Bwana
no problem.There are a million jobs up for grabs in the country courtesy of the new rulling elite
This has got nothing to do with covid but useless management. The falll has been for years….Too much corruption!!! Abuse of the staff which brings them income.
Do you call it Tsokalathu or mwaiwathu these days? I knew about it because it displays many adverts in the paper and told my wife that the hospital is gone.The reason for the retrenchment is not true and this is dangerous to lie to the public. This Kasungu guy is clever and some innocent people will be arrested something created by him.
Yee
This Kasungu is also a Womaniser.
He goes about female staff
Mwaiwathu has given out very poor reason for retrenchments as the hospital. They are doing opposite from the Government thus EMPLOYMENT and RETRENCHMENT and yet his daughter is in the government as a cabinet minister. Ken has worked to many companies and ending up sucked and the same will shortly happen at Mwaiwathu hospital. He runs his filling station at Bunda round about in Lilongwe abd why cant he simply stay at his rented station than sucking 52 innocent Malawians.

Mwinatu umoyo wathu wasintha tasiya kudwaladwala ndi boma la MCP.
The is a lot happening at Mwaiwathu, the Finance Director is one Ken Mthunzi. He worked for Press Corp. MTL and PTC had massive retrenchments under his leadership and has always been proud of that He also had brief stinct with the Katsonga’s managing AXA, thats the time their buses used to have frequent breakdowns. His turn around strategy for companies focuses on employee numbers rather than revenue. His stakeholder management is so poor. I feel sorry for the once top notch private hospital.
The irony, hospital sacking people because of COVID.
I thought hospital made a killing with the covid bullshit.
Now Tonse has to create 1000052 plus new jobs
so 52 will be added to 1000000. no progress indeed
