Executive Director of the Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN), George Jobe, has described his sleepover at Mzuzu Urban Health Centre commonly known as Mapale in Mzuzu on Thursday as very impactful.

The Sleepover Challenge is part of the 2026 Mzimba North Mothers Fun Run Sleepover Challenge, aiming to raise awareness and funds to improve maternal health services in Mzimba North, where many women endure sleepless nights while waiting for care at health facilities.

Jobe says the experience gave him first-hand insight into the challenges mothers face during childbirth, and the sacrifices made by health workers who often stay awake for long hours at night to save lives.

He noted that sometimes staff struggle to provide care due to lack of small but essential equipment hence
the initiative will also push him to engage government on the challenges in maternity wards.

According to Jobe, MHEN is targeting to raise K10 million Malawi Kwacha to buy essential maternity equipment.
