About Us

Our Story

CPR was founded in 2025 by a group of doctors, lawyers, and advocates who witnessed first-hand the neglect, abuse, and systemic failures facing healthcare workers in Malawi. Motivated by personal experiences and a desire to drive structural reform, CPR was established to be a voice for healthcare workers and a catalyst for policy change.
