Malamulo Adventist Hospital
Patient care, African surgical training, and enduring partnership in southern Malawi.
A Malawian teaching hospital
Rooted in local service. Connected through education and partnership.
Malamulo is a hospital community in Makwasa, serving patients from Thyolo District and across southern Malawi while training clinicians and working with long-standing academic and humanitarian partners.
Its identity begins with the Malawian professionals who sustain the hospital every day. International collaboration is most useful here when it strengthens that work, supports durable programs, and answers needs defined locally.
