“Old Mutual Malawi believes that a healthy nation makes a healthy business environment. We will stand together with the nation to fight this pandemic. We will continue supporting the government of Malawi, the health sector and all our front liners as we fight this battle,” said Jiya.
As the country is experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 which has claimed over 400 lives including two Cabinet Ministers, Old Mutual Malawi has moved in and donated assorted medicines and equipment worth K30 million to Blantyre and Lilongwe District Health Ofï¬ces (DHOâs).
The donation comes barely two weeks after the State President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera declared the country a state of disaster where he appealed for help from well-wishers to help in the fight against COVID-19.
Speaking in an interview with the press Old Mutual Malawi Limited Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) Edith Jiya said the donation is in line with the company’s Philosophy: Responsible business.
