Sue Makin has been under appointment as a PCUSA mission worker since 1987. She now serves as an obstetrician/gynecologist at the Mulanje Mission Hospital in Mulanje, Malawi.
Sue works with a team of Malawian clinicians at this 190-bed mission hospital, which is serving very poor people in southern Malawi. Because of the severe scarcity of obstetrician/gynecologists in Malawi, in addition to practicing at Mulanje Mission, Sue is a consulting gynecologist at five other hospitals in central and southern Malawi.
Three areas of special interest for Sue include repairing fistulas (caused by childbirth injury), preventing cervical cancer, and working diligently to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity in Malawi.
In addition to our mission funds, VPC has provided handmade baby blankets and knit caps, along with some store-bought layettes to entice expectant mothers to the clinic to receive pre-natal care and new mothers to the clinic to receive infant care. Click here for PCUSA Mission profile on Dr. Makin
