A new chapter begins in Malawi! @MLW_Programme My PhD is a fusion of tropical medicine, global health, D&E and obstetric medicine. I've been quiet on here since our boy arrived in style - hoping to be more professionally active via @ObsMedAfrica (The PRONE Study) from now x

What the world will learn about NCDs in pregnancy in SSA depends on the care and precision with which these four women approach their work on a daily basis. Makes sense to look after them! The PRONE STUDY Team building on the high ropes at Gulugufe 🙌🇲🇼@MLW_Programme
