Now through June 16, contribute to the global mission of LLUH by supporting Malamulo Hospital at the Loma Linda University Campus Store. Partnering with the Global Health Institute, LLU Campus Store is collecting funds for hospital project needs.
Donations will be collected in-store through Monday, June 16. The LLU Campus Store and iLLU Tech Store will match each dollar raised to a combined donation of up to $500, providing additional support for donations.
Malamulo Hospital is an LLUH field station, providing healthcare and wholeness to the southern region of Malawi, Africa. A member of Adventist Health International, Malamulo Adventist Hospital serves a population in which the doctor to patient ratio is 1 to 88,321, and 61 percent of the population lives under the international poverty line of $1.25 per day.
Since 2011, 19 students, 32 medical and management residents, and 49 employees and volunteers from LLUH have served in Malawi. The Loma Linda University Department of Surgery established an ACGME-approved surgical rotation to Malamulo Hospital in 2012, and LLUMC Surgery and Family/Preventive Medicine medical residents spend one rotation at the hospital as part of their residency program. LLUH management residents may also choose to spend one three-month rotation at the hospital as part of the international component of the Talent Management Services two-year management residency program.
