“It has pleased the president to appoint Madonna due to her passion for caring children in Malawi,” it said.
The appointment follows Madonna’s week-long visit to the Southern Africa country to continue her charity work especially caring for children.
While in the country, the singer has pledged to construct the state of the art Paediatric Surgery and Intensive Unit at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.
