ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF THE HOSPITAL PHALOMBE
This association was founded and registered in 1993 in Lucerne (Switzerland) as a non-denominational support organisation to assist the Phalombe hospital in Malawi, Africa.
In the meantime, Pro Phalombe has become one of the major donor organisations in support of the hospital and over the past 17 years has been able to assist in various Projects worth more than a million Swiss Francs. In addition there were donations of equipment and medications valued at several 10'000 Swiss Francs.
We do encourage you to join as a member or patron. With your support you contribute a very important part to the future of the Phalombe hospital. The elderly and the youngest patients as well as the hospital staff extend a warm thank you for every single Franc donated.
November 2011 – Dr. Chris Knoblauch of Pro Phalombe on site
To be able to follow up the project, an unscheduled audit was carried out on site in the middle of November 2011. Read more about in the NEWS (German).
October 2010 – the board and members of Pro Phalombe on site
In July 2010 work started on the new operating theatre building. To be able to follow up the project, a preliminary audit was carried out on site at the beginning of October. The meeting was chaired by Patrick Calisse the architect. The building contractor was represented by different engineers and financial consultants. The foundation was laid and the first walls erected. It should be possible to have the roof up before the beginning of the rainy season.
The new surgical tract is a hospital project, which was planned for many years in the development of the hospital and by now is urgently needed to improve the infrastructure. The existing operating theatre is outdated and not sufficient for hygenic as well as practical requirements of the hospital Phalombe. The current floor plan is extremely cumbersome and the lay-out does not allow building alterations. Here you gain access to Pictures and Information.
