Gogo Chatinkha Maternity Ward wears a new face

The birth of a child brings unbridled joy to the mother. The joy is exacerbated when the child is born in a conducive environment.

Against this background, a local nonprofit organisation, Road to Relief, has refurbished the Gogo Chatinkha Maternity Ward at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) for K77 million.

The organization’s Chairperson, Neesa Raidhan, said they were compelled to renovate the ward after being touched by how expectant mothers were failing to access some services like warm water due to malfunctioning of the warn-out facilities.

Gogo Chatinkha Maternity Ward wears a new face The birth of a child brings unbridled joy to the mother. The joy is exacerbated when the child is born in a conducive environment. Against this background, a local nonprofit organisation, Road to Relief, has refurbished the Gogo Chatinkha Maternity Ward at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) for K77 million. The organization’s Chairperson, Neesa Raidhan, said they were compelled to renovate the ward after being touched by how expectant mothers were failing to access some services like warm water due to malfunctioning of the warn-out facilities. “We wanted to give expectant mothers and health workers a good environment and at the same time contribute to the enormous work that the government is doing in the maternity wing,” Raidhan said. Authorities at QECH have hailed the Road to Relief for the support saying it has given expectant mothers a new lease of life. The organisation has, among other things, bought new beds and mattresses, refurbished the old beds, improved sanitation, and provided warm water to the wing. The renovation works commenced in November last year. Road to Relief is run by a team of dedicated women in Blantyre and Limbe and was founded in 2007. By Chipiliro Mtumodzi MBCDigital Manthu
