Closing the Gap in Global Cardiac Health Inequality.
MTIMA is committed to improving heart health in Malawi by providing local healthcare practitioners with essential knowledge, shared resources, and the support necessary for their success.
By focusing on ongoing education, community advocacy, and making cardiac care services more accessible, MTIMA empowers these practitioners to make a significant impact, transforming lives and enhancing the well-being of their communities.
The Heart of the Warm Heart: A New Era of Cardiac Care in Malawi
In the rolling highlands of southeastern Africa, Malawi is often called the "Warm Heart of Africa."
Yet, for decades, that heart has been under siege by a silent crisis: a near-total absence of advanced cardiology services for its 20 million citizens.
To address this, MTIMA (Medical Teams International Malawi) and the Canadian Society of Echocardiography (CSE) launched a high-stakes mission in 2025 to do more than just provide aid—they came to build a legacy.
Here are the stories of the people rewriting Malawi's medical future.
❋
Heart of the Matter: MTIMA’s 2025 Impact Report
In 2025, MTIMA significantly advanced cardiac care in Malawi through intensive mission trips and local capacity building.
Our teams performed over 750 cardiac scans, including 500 completed by local staff following the third mission, and facilitated numerous life-saving cardiac surgeries and pacemaker implantations.
Beyond direct clinical care for all cardiac patients at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), MTIMA mentored a dedicated cohort of Malawian medical professionals and sponsored ground-breaking research presented at the 2025 Research Dissemination Conference.
From establishing new pediatric transition clinics to pioneering exercise stress ECG services, MTIMA is not just treating hearts—we are building a sustainable future for Malawian healthcare.
