Music star Patience Namadingo tried to help fix broken ambulances at Mangochi District Hospital but found all top officials missing. He announced his plan Sunday on Facebook, saying he wanted to repair several non-working ambulances for residents. When he called the Director of Health Services Monday morning, nobody answered his calls. Namadingo arrived at the hospital at 2:00 PM, hoping to meet with someone in charge. The secretary told him she had not talked to the director all day.
He asked about other leaders but learned the administrator was still at lunch at 2:40 PM. The District Medical Officer had traveled to Monkey Bay for work matters. Namadingo decided to stay overnight in Mangochi to try again the next day. The situation sparked online debate among citizens. Some people criticized government workers for poor attendance habits. Others believed Namadingo should have scheduled a formal meeting beforehand.
