Neonatal Expertise to share

11th Dec 2025

Greetings everyone, We hope you are getting in festive spirit for Christmas and the New Year?

We are way behind on our updates! It has been such a busy time with a major grant application in progress.

A recent highlight includes another flying visit to Chitambo by Flyspec Drs Alberto Gregori and Trish O'Connor, who were on their way north to Mbala, to initiate the Makanda Neonatal Training project.

They had Australian Paediatrician, Dr Anne McGeechan, in tow. She sat with Chitambo Hospital staff and shared some of her resources (pictured).

Dr Trish O'Connor is an Emergency Medicine Consultant, specialising in Neonatology.

The Makanda project trained over 150 staff in Mbala and Mpulungu, as well as in Mchinji, Malawi.

We hope that Chitambo will also benefit from this and other Neonatal expertise in the future.

Stay blessed.
