First up, the Ministry of Health continues to inform the general public that the advertisements circulating on social media accepting job applications for Data Clerks, Hospital Attendants, Health Surveillance Assistants and Security Guards are not coming from them. In more health news, the Ministry of Health has disclosed that it will start constructing over 50 health posts in rural areas, beginning next month. The Ministry confirmed preparations for construction are already ahead of schedule. It was announced last December, the Ministry planned to construct 900 health facilities in hard-to-reach areas to ensure Malawians have readily available access to health services, regardless of their location. There were riots at Zomba Central Prison this week as inmates protested against the deplorable food offered at the facility. A prison spokesperson added that authorities at the prison are engaging the inmates over their concerns. The prisoners have reportedly gone on a hunger strike.
