Granddaughter to Malawi’s first female Cabinet Minister Rose Chibambo is appealing for support from well-wishers to help her grandmother currently admitted at Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in the commercial capital Blantyre.

Chibambo was rushed to hospital on Monday after suffering a heart attack and today is her third day in hospital.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Juliet Mhango said the family has no financial muscle to settle the medical bills for the Malawian hero.

Mhango appealed to government and well-wishers and the government of Malawi under President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika to help Chibambo with the little they can.

Chibambo is on a K200 bank note.

She was in the first Kamuzu Banda cabinet in 1964 and Chibambo was born in 1928.
