. Also remind him 10 days before you arrive (and maybe CC the email to Dr Katundu). For students there is a transport fee (about 100 US Dollar to pick you up), for visiting doctors transport is paid for by the hospital. It is quite a lot of money, but these are the real costs; it is still advisable to use this type of transport, especially when it is your first time coming to Africa.
Registration Nurses and student nurses need to be registered at the Nurses & Midwives Council of Malawi. You have to contact Mrs Mtengezo:

Nkhoma hospital is funded by Malawi Government for approximately 40% of the annual budget. The hospital receives 15 % of the budget through patient fees and seeks to cover the remaining 45% through external funding.
Currently the hospital has a substantial debt.
For more detail see www.nkhoma_debtrelief.com.
The accounts of the hospital are audited by external auditors.
Nkhoma aims to provide affordable healthcare to the poor. Treatment is provided at cost-price or less. Unfortunately the community around Nkhoma is so poor that many people are not even able to afford these subsidised fees. (Minimum wage is approximately 10 US$ per month).
Understandably Nkhoma hospital can always make good use of donations in kind or in cash. You can find bank details on the first page. Please do not hesitate to contact the medical director (

) if you would like to make any donations or need more information. Donors will always be informed when the donation has arrived and how it was used.
Universities and training institutions will often have a budget for placements of students. If you come to Nkhoma hospital for a placement, the hospital is asking you to pay a contribution towards the costs of providing the supervision and training (and using gloves, masks ect.). The fee is 250 USD for the first month and 100 US Dollar per month for the months after that. It can be transferred via the accounts written on the first page, or you can give it to our accountant Agnes Nyanda. If you want to can also give it in US Dollars or in Euro’s. If you already gave a donation of more than the required fee, this fee is not necessary any more.
For student nurses the fee will be 100 US Dollars per month. If you have any questions about this, email
