True to their word, the Zambian Flying doctor Service (ZFDS) has installed the 4 Motorola Very High Frequency (VHF) digital radios purchased for the Chitambo emergency care communications project. They have been installed at 3 'hardest to reach' clinics, where there is no mobile phone connectivity, and at a 4th clinic which can relay emergency messages to Chitambo Hospital.
We are very grateful to ZFDS for their efficient service. This should save lives.
The next step is to monitor the number of radio calls and their outcomes, to gauge effectiveness.
Friends of Chitambo SCIO: registered charity number SCO44337 Our primary aims are to support health projects, including the hospital, ambulance and nurse training school. However, we also hope to be able to provide some support to other community oranisations such as the orphanage, schools, and the church, where possible.
