Medical and health services have resumed at Rumphi district hospital, with central Medical Trust swiftly stocking the hospital with medicine just hours after a devastating fire gutted the hospital on Saturday, 14 October 2023.
The fire razed down the pharmacy wing, destroying all the medicines in the process.
All patients who were evacuated from the hospital wards during the fire were brought back to the wards.
The hospitals spokesperson Bwanalori Mwamlila said soon after the fire started all the service were disrupted.
He added that all the patients in the wards were evacuated because there were fears that the fire might also affect other buildings.
Mwamlima said after the accident the hospital management ordered drugs from the central medicines trust which has since delivered the said drugs to the hospital.
