Article Synopsis
- In 2016, a new intensive care unit (ICU) was built at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Malawi, but after four years, its performance has not been fully assessed.
- A study analyzed 250 patient cases from 2019, revealing that the ICU had a 52.2% mortality rate, with head injuries and peritonitis being the leading causes of admission and death.
- Despite improvements from the previous unit, the current mortality rate indicates issues like limited bed availability, staff shortages, and unclear admission criteria that need addressing for better performance.
