CURE Open Day

posted Mar 1, 2012, 4:55 AM by Cure Malawi

On Saturday 25th February, the Beit CURE International Hospital opened its doors to the general public, so that the people of Malawi - the people we aim to serve - could come and see for themselves the kind of work we are doing. There were games for the children, tours of the hospital's private ward and children's ward, a bake sale to raise money, and a drama put on by the guardians of the children in our ward. It was a very successful day, but don't worry if you missed out as we are planning another one soon!

Christmas came early this year for the children in the Beit CURE International Hospital ward.

All the guests enjoyed a festive feast complete with a huge Christmas cake, thanks to our generous sponsors and organized by Freemantle.

Clubfoot Football Match - a world first!

posted Oct 25, 2011, 2:06 AM by Cure Malawi   [ updated Dec 20, 2011, 3:19 AM ]


The Malawi National Clubfoot Programme is now in its fourth year and we can proudly say that almost 4,000 children from all across Malawi have been cured of clubfoot. Thanks to the work of those at CURE, the Ministry of Health and other partners it is now the largest programme of its type in the world. To celebrate its many achievements in this field, a football match was hosted by Beit CURE International Hospital in which every single player on the pitch was a child who had been cured of clubfoot. This was a very happy occasion and the children, who had travelled from all over Malawi for the day, benefited from training by coaches from the Malawi National Football Team, before playing a match and then being presented with their certificates and prizes. The small act of kicking a football, one that is enjoyed but taken for granted by children worldwide, is a reason to be thankful and celebrate for these children and their families.

Record month for private patients

posted Oct 25, 2011, 1:58 AM by Cure Malawi   [ updated Oct 25, 2011, 2:03 AM ]

The private side of the hospital is thriving, and we are proud to announce that September 2011 was our record month for private patients at Beit CURE International Hospital. A celebratory lunch was enjoyed by the entire hospital staff to acknowledge this achievement. Here at CURE, adults pay a fee so the children can walk free, so more private patients mean that more children from across Malawi can be treated for free.
