Loma Linda University Health representatives were on hand at Malamulo Adventist Hospital in the southeastern African nation of Malawi earlier in December 2020 to celebrate the facility’s first surgery residency program graduates.
Two graduates, Lijalem Taye Garba of Ethiopia and Constance Ndum of Cameroon, were honored during the ceremony, which marked the latest step for Loma Linda University Health and its parent, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to develop advanced health care in the region.
Loma Linda University Health president Richard H. Hart said a painful reality exists in many African countries: there are only a handful of surgeons in many countries to meet the 56 million people across the continent who need surgical care each year.
