Matawale Health Centre

Matawale Health Centre is a government health centre in the Matawale area of Zomba, in Malawi's Southern Region. The Ministry of Health's Master Health Facility Registry lists it under facility code ZA230856 as a functional health centre in Zomba district, owned by the Government of Malawi. The registry records an urban catchment area with a population of 64,794. In Malawi's public health system, health posts, health centres and community hospitals make up the primary level of care, district hospitals the secondary level and central hospitals the tertiary level. Health centres typically provide outpatient treatment, maternal and child health services, immunisation and family planning, and refer patients who need admission or specialist care to a hospital. Care at government facilities in Malawi is provided free of charge at the point of use. Zomba lies at the foot of the Zomba Plateau, about 65 km north-east of Blantyre. It was the capital of the Nyasaland protectorate and remained Malawi's capital until 1975, when the seat of government moved to Lilongwe. The city is home to the main campus of the University of Malawi, formerly Chancellor College, and to Zomba Central Hospital. No telephone number or opening hours have been published for the centre, so anyone travelling for a particular clinic or service is advised to ask locally first.
