Fall 2023 Update
Our 15 MCI employees are thriving! Several of our staff have gone back to school to obtain higher degrees, while continuing to provide excellent compassionate care to pediatric patients at KCH.
Loness Eliya, a nurse who has worked for MCI for about 3 years, will be starting her Master's in Critical Care nursing at the Kamuzu University Of Health Sciences (KUHeS) in September. She received a full scholarship for her tuition and fees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She will continue to work for MCI throughout her studies. Congratulations Loness!
2023 Year End
Fundraising Campaign
In August 2024, a local businessman from Burlington, Mr. Douglas Boteler of National OnDemand, and Mrs. Gayle Peacock, a longtime champion of healthcare improvement projects in Malawi, joined Dr. Fitzgerald for a week to learn more about the work MCI has been doing, get to know the team and the staff at the hospital, and explore the concept of building a new Children's Hospital at KCH.
​
Ms. Peacock, whose family has already generously donated to many programs at KCH through the University of North Carolina, donated $20,000 to MCI in September, which used to support the expansion of lab services at KCH to 24 hours. Mr. Boteler has offered to match up to $25,000 to support MCI's work. Any donation received between now and the end of the year will go toward this $25,000 match!
​
Mr. Boteler has also generously offered to support a capital campaign to build a future KCH Children's Hospital, which is planned to begin in early 2025.

Fundraising Campaign
MCI has raised over $650,000 in the last 4 years to support children, families, and healthcare professionals in Malawi.
​
We have had a positive impact on thousands of lives, and our team continues to provide compassionate, holistic care to the patients we work with every day.
We can't do this without your help.
