Malawi, where child mortality rate is currently at 42 deaths per 1,000 live births, on Monday launched a week-long Child Health Days (CHD) campaign to reduce child illnesses and deaths through immunisation and vaccination.

Business magnate Dr Thom Mpinganjira, CEO of FDH Financial Holdings Limited (FDHFHL), which owns FDH Bank, on Tuesday trashed speculation that he is being positioned to succeed President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leadership for2024, saying the speculation was “unfounded” and linking him and the Bank to politics was putting his life at risk and jeorpadising business.
