Raising funds for urgent covid relief in Malawi
Donation protected
We are facing a crisis in Malawi. Hospitals are overwhelmed because of the covid-19 pandemic. A new strain from South Africa has resulted in an exponential surge. Hospitals are failing to cope. We are a poor country in southern Africa. Our government is trying whatever it can, citizens are contributing whatever they can, but we need help. Whatever you can contribute will be fine. One critical supply covid-19 patients need is oxygen. To administer it from cylinders there is a need for oxygen pressure regulators. These are in critical need. There is no manufacturer of these in the whole of southern Africa. I want to buy them on eBay and send them to Malawi as urgently as possible. We will account for every cent. People are dying, hospitals are overwhelmed, and the situation requires all hands on deck. We are immensely grateful for your help. We have created a board of three people, including the President of the Society of Medical Doctors in Malawi, to oversee all the expenditure of all the money we will raise. We will also use this money to buy oxygen cylinders, and the oxygen itself. Each covid patient who is admitted with serious illness consumes 1 to 3 cylinders of oxygen per day. We will buy this from Afrox, the only supplier of oxygen in Malawi. We will also buy critically-required medicines that are in short supply. One hospital (Mzuzu in northern Malawi) told us of a shortage of protective clothing (PPE). Thanks to all those who have contributed.
