We are incredibly proud to share this powerful reflection from Hassan, a medical student from Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, following his clinical placement with us at Ndimoyo Palliative Care Clinic in Salima and I quote:

“Our clinical allocation at Ndimoyo Palliative Care Clinic in Salima has been truly transformative. As students, we witnessed how palliative care is not just about managing illness .It’s about restoring hope, dignity and comfort to patients and their families. 💚Working alongside the Ndimoyo team, we learned the true meaning of umunthu — humanity and compassion in every action. From home visits and outreach clinics in Khombeza, Chipoka and Mchoka to the inspiring Thursday case conferences, every moment reminded us that care extends far beyond clinic walls.
Ndimoyo stands as a beacon of excellence, living out Malawi’s National Palliative Care Policy (2023–2030) by turning policy into practice and compassion into care. As future palliative care associates, we carry forward this lesson that healing is not only found in medicine, but also in empathy, presence and love.
Thank you so much Ndimoyo, where every act of care celebrates life"

As Hassan says, the ultimate lesson is that "healing is not only found in medicine, but also in empathy, presence and love."
Thank you, Hassan, for your passion and for carrying this vital lesson forward! We are honoured to be part of your training.

Friday, October 31st was one for the books! Our clinic was buzzing with energy, demonstrating the power of partnership, education, and dedication to palliative care.
It started with a huge blessing: a visit from the incredible Gift of the Givers Foundation. They delivered essential food supplements that will be distributed to our patients, ensuring they have the holistic support they need. Thank you for making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.
We then transformed into a learning hub. We welcomed University of Malawi MBBS Year 3 Community Health students to our clinic to learn about our model for holistic palliative care. Their passion is inspiring. We also bid a heartfelt farewell to two brilliant medical students, Thokozani and Hassan, from Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, who completed an impactful 5-week clinical placement with us. We loved having you!
Finally, we wrapped up the day by escorting our Palliative Care Training Manager, Dominic, to the airport. He is en route to Tunisia to attend the prestigious AORTIC 2025 Conference. We are so proud to have him represent Ndi Moyo and bring back cutting-edge knowledge to advance care in Malawi.
Our day was truly live and vibrant! We are deeply thankful to all our partners and supporters for making days like this possible. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate future for palliative care in Malawi.

A massive thank you to Alliance One To***co Company for their incredibly generous donation of a Steriliser Drum and Chlorhexidine Gluconate & Cetrimide Solution.
This essential equipment and disinfectant arrived just in time to support our ongoing, vital cervical cancer screening clinics in the Salima district.
Why this matters:
• Keeping it Safe- The Steriliser Drum is crucial for securely transporting and sterilizing the reusable medical tools used in our Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) and thermocoagulation procedures. This ensures the highest standards of safety and hygiene for every woman we screen.
• Preventing Infection- The disinfectant solution is vital for maintaining a clean, infection-free environment, making our "screen-and-treat" work even more effective.
At Ndi Moyo, we believe prevention is better than cure. With partners like Alliance One To***co Company, we can continue to offer life-saving cervical cancer prevention to women across Salima. Your support directly helps us protect the health and futures of our community!

We're thrilled to share the amazing experience of our own Rex Chinzu at the 8th African Palliative Care Conference in Gaborone, Botswana!
Rex was there representing Ndi Moyo Palliative Care Trust, and guess what? Our abstract on Virtual Case Conferencing received much attention. Rex proudly presented how Ndi Moyo is using technology to share knowledge and strengthen palliative care training across Malawi. It was a huge hit, showing how our local innovation can help all of Africa!
Virtual Care is the Future- We have learnt, among others, how mobile apps are being used across Africa to help patients and families communicate their needs directly to nurses and doctors. This has inspired us to explore new, user-friendly communication methods beyond simple phone calls!
The conference ended with African Ministers of Health signing a declaration to commit to supporting palliative care. This powerful show of commitment gives Ndi Moyo even more confidence when negotiating with the Malawi government to improve care for all our patients.
A huge thank you to Rex for bringing back so many valuable lessons and connections. We are excited to use this new knowledge to enhance the care we provide every day.

What an honour!

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of InterCare -Medical Aid for Africa, Diane Hardy and Robert Pettifer, visited us at Ndi Moyo in Salima, Malawi on 7th August 2025 to appreciate the work and services the facility is providing to the community.

Intercare has been supporting Ndi Moyo for the past ten (10) years, through donations of essential medicines and other assorted medical stuff including bandages, stethoscopes and Blood Pressure monitors etc.
After clinic facility tour, the duo expressed their satisfaction with the way Ndi Moyo operates and observed that it is a welcoming palliative care centre. The CEO was in particular impressed with the existence of a prayer room (meditation room) at Ndi Moyo.
The visit ended with the CEO making a donation of assorted medical items and she assured management that another consignment of essential medicines will reach Ndi Moyo before the end of August 2025. Apart from medicines, Intercare has also pledged to donate a Glycohemoglobin Analyzer which will be delivered to Ndi Moyo through Action Medeor Malawi.
To all our supporters, please visit us when an opportunity arises.

Retired but still passionate

The story of Nester, the first nurse to be employed by Ndi Moyo in 2006 and she retired from active work in 2020. She has rejoined Ndi Moyo to help out at the time we need an extra hand to cover our two nurses who are full time running the Initiators training for the next 5 weeks.
Nester is captured here assisting a patient in the clinic. She will be providing care to patients for the next five weeks. It will cost £230 to compensate her time.

Welcome back Nester.

It is a beautiful Wednesday today and the weather in Salima is cool. The Palliative Care training is progressing well. About 10 patients have already checked in at the clinic to be seen by our compassionate providers.
But Ndi Moyo is not only seeing patients at its facility today. Two clinicians are set for outreach clinic at Khombeza (a government health centre) about 50 km away. More than 30 patients do benefit from the such scheduled clinics at this facility. Apart from hoping for medicines from the Ndi Moyo clinicians, these patients also expect to receive nutritional supplements. Thanks to Gift of Givers Foundation for the constant provision of the supplements which helps to boost both patients’ survival and quality of life.
Ndi Moyo outreach clinics are possible because of the generous financial contribution from you, our well-wishers. More support is needed in order for Ndi Moyo to pay salaries for palliative care providers, buy essential medicines and maintain the ambulance.
£326 covers monthly salary for a nurse, £750 covers monthly supply of essential medicines and it cost £350 to maintain and run an ambulance in a month.
