Mwihila History
The 200 bed Mission Hospital was built in 1955 by missionaries. The School of nursing was added in 1956. The Hospital was handed over to the locals in 1975. Mismanagement, under use and misuse along with plundering of the property has lead to near total collapse.
Plans to restore Mwihila to its glory days have began and new Board of Managers have been appointed to oversee the rehabilitation process.
We will need serious support to help actualize this.
