The problem is bigger than overcrowded central hospitals - Nation Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A hospital that is supposed to save lives should never have to apologise for being too full to save them. Yet that is, in effect, what our central hospitals are telling us. The figures coming out of the hospitals are difficult to read without wondering how much pressure the health system can take before the consequences become even more serious. At Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), 30 women are giving birth on an average day in a labour ward with 24 beds. The hospital performs about nine
We cannot afford to sleepwalk into another hunger crisis - Nation Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is unsettling to watch the agricultural season approach while many of the people expected to feed this country are still wondering how they will afford to plant.

It revealed the difficult balancing act facing Malawi as it embarks on the most ambitious decentralised development programme in its history. On the one hand, the government insists it is not withholding funds. Treasury says over K200 billion is available and waiting to be released once councils com
The bigger by-election story we are not telling - Nation Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five elective positions were filled through the June 30 by-elections: three parliamentary seats and two ward councillor positions. Voter turnout was low, and rightly so; that has become the dominant talking point. The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has expressed concern. Election observers have attributed the apathy to inadequate civic education, weak mobilisation, elections being held on working days, and a growing sense among voters that by-elections do not significantly change the national
