MTIMA actively promotes CVD prevention, because we recognize the importance of rapid detection, precise diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment for Malawians who have developed CVD. MTIMA seeks to understand how the power of innovative technologies can be harnessed to deliver Malawian healthcare solutions.
