Mambwe District Hospital | Eastern Province
Located approximately 128 kilometres from Chipata City, Mambwe District Hospital continues to stand as a shining example of reliable and people-centred health service delivery in Eastern Province.
The hospital consistently maintains an essential medicines availability rate of 92 percent, ensuring that patients have access to the medicines they need, when they need them. This steady supply reflects the Ministry of Health’s commitment to strengthening supply chain systems and improving health outcomes, even in districts far from major urban centres.
In a major milestone for the district and surrounding communities, Mambwe District Hospital has officially been upgraded to a General Hospital effective January 2026. This upgrade will enhance service capacity, expand the range of specialised services offered, and reduce the need for referrals to distant facilities.
The Ministry of Health remains committed to bringing quality, accessible and equitable healthcare closer to the people, leaving no one behind.
