The provision of primary care and hospital based clinical services at MMH is underpinned by a range of support services.  Some of these are clinical such as laboratory, radiology and pharmacy services, others include human resources, staff training and capacity building, accounts and maintaining vehicles and buildings.

Infrastructure

Mulanje Mission Hospital started as a small maternity clinic in 1928 and other buildings were being added later on until it became a fully-fledged hospital in 1980. Some of the buildings and staff houses are old, requiring major renovations or replacement. The hospital has been fortunate to have donors who have invested in infrastructure; however there is need for a robust maintenance plan to keep the infrastructure in good shape.

Over recent years, a second operating theatre was added, an antenatal ward and high-dependency unit opened and digital radiology introduced. Currently, the biggest need is upgrading of the childrens ward and staff housing.
