Nurse Pamela Masoka opens Nthambi Private Clinic in Lilongwe
Nthambi Private Hospital was opened on Saturday in Area 43, Lilongwe to complement the delivery of health services to the residents.
The clinic is owned by a nurse, Pamela Masoka, 29, who decided to open this hospital so that she could easily reach out and assist people.
She said in an interview that the opening of the new clinic was aimed at addressing problems that are not always talked about and seen but make people unhealthy such as depression.
“I decided to open this hospital so that I could reach to a number of people that are not healthy. World Health Organisation (WHO) defines healthy as a complete social, physical, spiritual and psychological wellbeing not necessarily just the absence of sickness or infirmity, I saw it fit to implement this.
“In my aspect of health care, I would like to reach out to the person’s heart and deal with those problems that are not always talked about and seen but make people unhealthy like depression,” Masoka with her career in nursing and midwifery, said.
She explained that the fact that the clinic would be run by a nurse would make it unique as nurses usually are more close to the patient and prioritizes the needs of the patient.
Vice chancellor at Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST), Prof. Address Malata advised the female Chief Executive Officers to not be discouraged and keep her dream going.
The facility will have an in and outpatient department, labour and delivery, surgical, orthopaedics, physiotherapy and under five department.
Among other main services this facility will offer, cervical cancer screening, under five clinic, free HIV testing and counselling and will have a chaplain counselling which will help people who are struggling with depression and stress.
Nthambi Hospital is an expansion of two clinics which were opened last year in the Areas 49 and 25 in the same city of Lilongwe.
This new clinic has a capacity of 10 beds.
Masoka has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Midwifery at Kamuzu College of Nursing (KCN) and also attained a Master of Science in Public Health scholarship in China.

I will not wonder if this humble young lady becomes a multimillionair becuase of the energy she has intially put on this small new business. I firstly knew of this clinic on Facebook then read in the nation news paper and today this online publication. She might be in many more other publications that I don’t know. Mama you have inspired me and you will be an example I have chosen to use when cheating with my daughter’s and other relatives. Please continue with the zeal. I like it.
