Prince Albert of Monaco of France visited various development initiatives he has been funding in Malawi this week. He also met President Bingu wa Mutharika to explore means the European nation could establish an embassy in the southern African country.
Prince Albert expressed satisfaction with the quality of infrastructure put up especially a maternity wing in Dowa district from funds he provided to Malawian organizations.

“It is the responsibility of all of us to help each other and make life better,” said Albert.
He said he would continue to channel funds towards various causes in Malawi, hoping to save many lives otherwise condemned to fateful devices.

Malawi still ranks as one of the countries with highest mortality and morbidity rates in the world, though efforts of people like Prince Albert in putting up sexual reproductive health infrastructure seem to be bearing fruits.
The Ministry of Health has recorded a decrease in the number of women who die from child-birth related complications from 984 to less than 900.
