Health care where it is needed most
Health inequalities continue to affect the lives of many Malawians living in remote areas. These health inequalities result from a range of social, economic and environment factors largely beyond people’s individual control. This is unjust and unfair.
Wandikweza tackles health inequalities by addressing access barriers.
