St. Gabriel’s Hospital
Healthcare as a service to people
St. Gabriel’s Hospital in Namitete is one of the best hospitals in Malawi thanks to the dedication and support of the ZithaSisters. In this very rural area, the hospital was initially the only possibility to access basic medical care. Founded as a hospital for the poorest of the poor, it still provides healthcare to everyone. Even to those who can’t afford it.
About us
At the request of former Bishop Fady of Malawi (the former Nyassaland), the ZithaSisters have been operating a hospital since 1959. Originally initiated by Pope Pius XII, the hospital has developed from a small bush hospital to become an extensive and, by Malawian standards, modern hospital complex.
Our work
As a mission hospital, St. Gabriel’s Hospital is committed to the ZithaSisters and their guiding principles. Every sick person who comes here receives the best possible care – regardless of his or her financial means. However, medication and the upkeep of the buildings and infrastructure are expensive and cannot be shouldered by the hospital alone. It is therefore in constant need of funding in order to provide healthcare to the more than 250,000 people, some of whom are very poor, in its extensive catchment area.
Funded projects
Cooperation with the German medical aid organisation Action Medeor
Supplying medicines to the hospital is particularly expensive. Thanks to the cooperation with Action Medeor, the hospital can be reliably supplied with medicines of tested quality as needed.
