Philanthropist Chawezi Banda, popularly known as Chacha, has called on Malawians at home and abroad to complement government efforts in improving health service delivery through individual and community contributions.
Chacha made the appeal in Lilongwe when she presented 20 mattresses to a group of female police officers at Lingadzi Police Station, for donation to Area 18 Health Centre.
She said improving healthcare requires collective responsibility, with citizens also playing a role in supporting government initiatives aimed at ensuring better services in health facilities.
Chacha said she was inspired to assist the health centre after learning about the shortage of beds, which has left some patients sleeping on worn-out mattresses.
“A patient deserves dignity. A mother who has just given birth deserves comfort. A sick child deserves a clean, soft place to sleep while they recover,” she said.
Her contribution comes amid ongoing government efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery and improve conditions in public health facilities.
