Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament for Karonga Central Dr. Cornelius Mwalwanda has been laid to rest at area 18 cemetery in the capital Lilongwe.
Mwalwanda died of COVID-19 on Thursday at Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH).
Before his death, Mwalwanda hailed District Health Officer for Karonga District Hospital for the support rendered to him.
Below is Mwalwanda’s last message;
Colleagues, last night I checked into KCH COVID 19 Treatment Center after having been brought by Ambulance some 600 kilometers of the rough roads of our M1 Road.
I been received well by a very professional staff of the Center and have been told that am occupying the same bed and room that was recently vacated by Daud Suleiman and also that Hon. Maxwell Thyolera and Frank Tumpale Mwenifumbo have been through this place.
I also wish to extend my profound gratitude to Dr. Siwale, the DHO for Karonga District Hospital for making available an ambulance and Dr. Chirwa and his staff to accompany me to Lilongwe. This is beyond the call of duty and clear indication that the Ministry of Health has some committed professionals and staff.
Thank you so much for your support.
Hon. Dr. Mwalwanda, M. P
