We are currently working on a scholarship program for students to go to Medical School to become doctors or health specialists. This will help alleviate the shortage of medical doctors in Malawi and will also directly assist in our commitment to developing the healthcare sector.
If costs are manageable then would could perhaps have a program to sponsor, for example one student scholarship to completion every year. If we take a minimum scholarship of one doctor a year. After 16 years we would have produced 10 doctors and every subsequent year one doctor thereby relieving the burden on other doctors.
