FREE MEDICAL CAMP IN CHIRADZULU DISTRICT HOSPITAL

We are pleased to advise that we are conducting a FREE Medical Camp in Chiradzulu District Hospital, during the above period. The Camp will be conducted by a team of doctors and volunteers from U.K., led by Dr. Surendra Upadhyay. The Camp will be suitably advertised by us so that the poor and needy could take advantage of the advanced treatment. It is expected that a minimum of 500 patients per day will benefit from this Camp. During the lunch time, we will also distribute food to all the patients.

We had arranged a similar Medical Camp in Chikwawa District Hospital and Montfort Hospital during the period 13th to 17th April, 2004. During that period, 5,500 patients were treated which included 520 dental and 1,550 optical cases. 120 optical operations were done and 20 miscellaneous operations were done. The eye glasses numbering about 3,000 were distributed free. Six patients were referred to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital and cost of their treatment was borne by the organization. The cost of this Camp was in the region of K1.5 mn.

When he was just 14 years old, Malawian inventor William Kamkwamba built his family an electricity-generating windmill from spare parts, working from rough plans he found in a library book. In conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Kamkwamba, now 19, tells a moving story of ingenuity and adaptation, and shares his dreams for the future. This talk inspired outpourings of support from the TED community and in the blogosphere.
