Background

The Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM) was established in 1966 as an ecumenical umbrella organisation for Church-owned health facilities and health training institutions across Malawi. It is co-owned by two Church Mother Bodies: The Malawi Conference of Catholic Bishops (MCCB) and the Malawi Council of Churches (MCC). CHAM is governed through a four-tier structure comprising the General Assembly, Board of Trustees, Board of Directors, and Senior Management Team. The General Assembly, made up of leaders from all proprietor churches that own CHAM-affiliated health facilities, serves as the highest policy-making body within the organisation.

Governance

CHAM is governed through a four-tier structure comprising the General Assembly, Board of Trustees, Board of Directors, and Senior Management Team. The General Assembly, made up of leaders from all proprietor churches that own CHAM-affiliated health facilities, serves as the highest policy-making body within the organisation. The Board of Trustees holds the assets of the association in trust, while the Board of Directors provides strategic leadership and oversight. The Secretariat, led by the Executive Director, implements the day-to-day operations and programs of the association.

Profiles for trustees, directors, and the Senior Management Team appear alongside the governance structure.
