The Physician Assistants Union of Malawi (PAUM) is dedicated to
promoting and protecting the rights of its members as outlined in
their contracts of employment, national laws, and international
labor agreements to which Malawi is a party. Our mission is to
ensure that our members have access to just and proper working
conditions, and that the public and general health service in Malawi
is vibrant and well-maintained.
We advocate and defend for all rights and interests of our members,
including their right to continued education. We also affiliate with
and subscribe to other trade unions or organizations that share our
aims and objectives. PAUM acts as a focal point and mouthpiece for
the interests of our members on matters of concern arising and as a
negotiating body between our members and their respective
employers.!
PAUM also represents its members on public and private bodies and
committees or taskforces where such representation is necessary. We
take part in all disciplinary issues involving our members and
strive to resolve disputes between members and/or with their
employers or the public. Furthermore, we provide various trainings
for our members to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills
necessary to succeed in their careers.
We serve as a union for individuals who work in the healthcare field
as Clinical Technicians, Clinical Officers, Clinical Associates, and
Medical Assistants.
We are located P/A Kamuzu Central Hospital Lilowngwe, Area 33.
P.O Box 342, Mzuzu
