Lumbani Banda was on training to become a Clinical Officer, and Mr Kabuula was in the villages near Dedza case-finding.  Charles Nalembe was in Blantyre for a couple of days, and Maxwell Nkhoma was on night duty.  Andy Richards was behind the camera!

We are really lucky to have such a great to team to work with.  Steve, Esther, Ephraim, Elias and Leo have been here at Nkhoma Eye Hospital longest, around 10 years; and everyone in the team has been at Nkhoma for over 2 years.  I’ve been coming intermittently since 2003, and working permanently since the end of 2007.

There is a great team spirit, a relatively good football skillset, and an amazing efficiency of high volume work when we have a long line of patients waiting for surgery.
