Ameca pumps K480m in clinic

Alex’s Medical and Educational Clinic in Africa (Ameca) has embarked on a K480 million ($692 641) project to construct Chilaweni Clinic in Blantyre Rural. Ameca chief executive officer and founder Ruthie Markus said the clinic will provide a primary healthcare facility for the community of over 22 000 people. Contrary to an earlier reort, Ameca is undertaking the project single-handedly.
