- [...]pupils risk losing their only good meal a day, shelter from household violence and stipends, delaying graduation and their first job in life. [...]Malawi blood transfusion service depends on schools, colleges, places of worship, and workplaces [2]. Institutional responses and security measures in the light of SARS-COV-2 have resulted in loss of national and international medical staff at this institution, now facing a 66% decrease in consultants and 60% loss in non-consultant capacity. Whilst such adverse effects can be mitigated in high-income countries with social security systems, injections of liquidity and ability to increase medical capacity, many LDCs do not have these safety nets.
