“The medical personnel at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital are stretched with the disasters caused by Cyclone Freddy,” he said.
Polepole said they thought in a month’s time the situation will be settled a little bit hence the shift.
The Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute medical team in collaboration with the Malawi medical team is expected to reach out to 448 patients with heart conditions currently on the waiting list to be assisted.
