NBM’s K33M gift powers up Chilomoni’s hospital upgrade

National Bank of Malawi just dropped thirty-three million Kwacha worth of medical gear at Chilomoni Health Centre. The donation, which wraps up the bank's holiday charity drive, includes patient monitors, an ECG machine, a biochemistry analyzer, oxygen concentrators, and a bunch of other critical equipment like wheelchairs and a defibrillator. Health centre boss Dr. Steven Mlangiza said this stuff is a big deal for their planned upgrade to a full community hospital, which needs to serve over sixty-five thousand people.

This particular gift was the final piece of a much larger two hundred fifty-five million Kwacha corporate social responsibility package. The bank's retail banking head, Oswin Kasunda, called it the grand finale of their '12 Days of Christmas' campaign that hits every district. They target health, education, and community wellbeing projects each year.

Other places that got help from the same fund include a few other health centres and some schools, plus an orphan care center and a resource hub for the visually impaired. The management committee vice chair for Chilomoni, Maliko Paul Chikaonga, thanked the bank and promised the equipment would be used properly.
