Healthy people who are assisted by a Holy Spirit-filled family of God committed to the provision of equitable, sustainable, and quality health care for all regardless of gender, race, color, and religion.
Mission
To continue the Healing Ministry of Christ through the promotion of human life, the provision of preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services in a holistic manner, through participation in collaborative networks and partnerships, per the needs and capacities of the communities, and in line with Catholic core values and principles.
Mandate
Coordinating the health services and programs implemented by the Catholic Church.
Programs
Catholic Health Commission runs several institutions as follows:
- Training Colleges – 5
- Hospitals – 26
- Health Centres – 54
- Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres – 1
In addition to running the institutions, the Catholic Health Commission also runs the following community-based programs:
- Home Based Care (HBC)
- Community-Based Child Care Centres
- Integrated HIV and AIDS Response
Catholic Health Commission is serving a population of approximately two million Malawians. Most services are provided at a fee except Home Based Care, immunizations, and nutrition rehabilitation which are free.
Where a district health office has signed a service-level agreement with the health institution, the costs are shared between the two parties and patients access the service without paying a user fee.
