Healthcare boost for Malawi
EXPERTS from Edinburgh University are to help address healthcare shortages in Malawi as part of a new agreement.
Clinicians and e-learning experts will develop an online teaching resource which should help train hundreds of new doctors and nurses in the country.
Areas such as maternal health, cardiology and neurology will all be boosted.
It is also hoped it will assist the development of those currently working in the healthcare system there.
Funded by the Scottish Government International Development Fund, the project will involve the use of the internet, cd-roms and mobile phones.
Edinburgh University's Prof David Dewhurst, who is heading the programme, said: "This initiative will help build up resources within Malawi to train new generations of doctors and other healthcare professionals."
