Imagine working in a hospital so overwhelmed that you do not even have time to resuscitate a child. This is the daily reality for many African hospitals, as described by Chatinkha Banda, nurse in charge of the pediatric ward at Mchinji Hospital, Malawi. How would it feel to be so overstretched that patients die without you even noticing? Running constantly, yet failing to meet the bare minimum. Worse, watching a child die without a moment to console the grieving parents—often while being a parent yourself. I experienced this firsthand while working in Tanzania. Despite my best efforts, the toll was exhausting, bringing me close to burnout within a year. This is why I have immense respect for frontline health workers, who continue serving under these conditions. And this is why I founded GOAL 3 five years ago: to help solve this overwhelming challenge. Now, I am proud to see that our work is making a difference. IMPALA is easing the pressure in these challenging environments and improving care. This 6-minute documentary by Amref Health Africa in Malawi highlights our collaborative project, implementing IMPALA in Mchinji and Kapiri hospital in Malawi.
