Friends of Chitambo certainly has talent
We are extremely proud of our Zambian Trustee, Mr. Consider Mudenda, who has been selected from a short list of over 60 people to be Country Manager for the Virtual Doctors: https://www.virtualdoctors.org/
This organisation, marrying health and technology, is the perfect fit for his talents and the job offers him financial security. He was hardly in the door before e was off on a week long trip to set up tele medicine links at 6 clinics in Malawi. Being used to working with remote, rural clinics in Chitambo District, he took this in his stride.
There is plenty of scope for collaboration between Virtual Doctors and Friends of Chitambo and Consider is the perfect bridge between us.

Donation of surgical face masks for Chitambo Hospital
Heartfelt thanks to Kerry Chalmers, Head of NHS Scotland Global Health Coordination Unit, Scottish Government and Scott Cowan, National Stock Controller, National Blood Transfusion Services Scotland, for facilitating a donation of 30 boxes of surgical face masks for Chitambo Hospital, central Zambia.
These were collected by Jo Vallis, FoCH Chair and Chris Roberts, Trustee, who also benefited from a tour of the state of the art blood transfusion unit where all Scottish blood supplies are processed and latest blood cells research conducted. Thank you Scott. If only Chitambo could benefit from such facilities.
