On 11th November I attended the Scotland Malawi Partnership Annual Gathering and AGM. At that meeting, Hazel Darwin-Clements spoke about an audio series called People to People Podcasts. In these podcasts, Hazel is joined by Chimzy Dorey and together they chat informally with guests about partnerships that exist between people in Malawi and Scotland. Hazel intimated that she and Chimzy were keen to identify partnerships in which colleagues would be willing to participate in a People to People Podcast.
It struck me that the MalDent Project would perhaps fit the bill and I spoke to Hazel after the meeting about the possibility. Hazel was very positive and in turn I contacted my colleagues Dr Mwapatsa Mipando and Dr Peter Chimimba at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, both of whom agreed it was a good idea.
On the day of the recorded conversation Peter was unfortunately unable to participate, but Mwapatsa and I had a very enjoyable conversation with Hazel and Chimzy. Thanks to Hazel and her team the podcast has now been edited and published. You can listen to it here:
A good initiative
