Malawi student with tumour needs K10m for specialist treatment

University of Malawi second year Bachelor of Arts Degree student at the Polytechnic College, Suzan Mkwezalamba, is desperately trying to raise funds so she can go for treatment abroad for her tumor diagnosed in her left jaw.

Mkwezalamba is poorly at her home in Domasi, Zomba with the hope that her classmates will help raise awareness of her immediate need for specialised treatment which is estimated to cost K10 million ($18,485).

The student had not been well for over a month.

“We are appealing to everyone—individuals, families and the corporate world—to donate something so that Suzan gets the required treatment,” Wisdom Mwale, committee chairperson for those Polytechnic students soliciting funds for the cause.

According to Mwale, doctors at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (Qech) and Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre have recommended Mkwezalamba to undergo an operation in South Africa, India or the United Kingdom.

Those wishing to assist, or to get more details about Mkwezalamba’s medical problem which is keeping her away from school  may contact Mwale on 08 84 943 866 or 09 92 929571.
