About us
Giving the people the care they deserve
Uchembere Wabwino Maternity provides specialised sexual reproductive health services at a subsidised rate in Mzuzu, and free services in rural communities of Mzimba District. We opened on 22 August 2019, after inspection and accreditation by Malawi’s nursing, medical and pharmacy regulators.
We offer a comprehensive package of services: maternal and child health, paediatric and under-five care, outpatient medical care, family planning, diagnostic tests, and sexual reproductive health education and counselling for young people in secondary schools.
To provide a safe place for delivery for women, empower young people through sexual reproductive health education and counselling, and improve access to information and family planning services across Malawi, regardless of where they live.
“I lost my mother to pregnancy complications. In 2019 I started Uchembere Wabwino because my wish was to create a safe place for pregnant women to deliver.”
Maternity clinic
Health for life
We focus on promotive, preventive and curative health care, targeting early detection of complications and treatment. We are open 24 hours.
Labour and delivery
We offer labour and delivery services for low-risk clients, day and night. Our maternity theatre is now ready for emergencies.
Ultrasound and ECG
We provide obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound scanning, and electrocardiogram (ECG) tests.
Laboratory services
We do laboratory tests here, so our clients are not sent to other facilities for a diagnosis.
Outpatient medical care
Medical consultations, assessment and treatment of common illnesses, and follow-up care, without the need for hospital admission.
What we do
Serving mothers and little ones with care
We offer specialised care to pregnant women from conception to birth, healthcare for their children, outpatient medical care, and sexual and reproductive health services for women and young people.
Community outreach
Reaching out to the last mile
Once a month our team drives to Chankhanga, Elangeni and Sonda, hard-to-reach communities in rural Mzimba where the nearest health facility is very far away. We run these outreach clinics under the Mzimba North District Health Office, using our own transport.
On average, each monthly outreach visit serves 364 children and 184 mothers. Women can now have advanced care such as ultrasound scanning within their reach, with prompt referral to a higher facility whenever there is a need.
We also bring sexual and reproductive health education to secondary schools through our Uche Youth for Change team, and run girl-empowerment, menstrual-hygiene and nutrition programmes.
