Malawi Program Report
One out of every nine children born in Malawi dies before reaching his or her first birthday. Management Sciences for Health's Malawi Program is working to reduce the number of child deaths and illnesses. Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the program worked in collaboration with managers to design and implement services and systems that provided improved health care to children and their families.
The Malawi Program focused on four areas:
- preventing and managing of childhood illnesses;
- increasing malaria prevention activities;
- decentralizing the district health system;
- facilitating the autonomy of two central hospitals.
