Clubs and Societies AMREF Group Flying Doctors It is always encouraging for the College to learn about the activities of Amref Health Africa, and the sheer variety of its humanitarian work can be seen in the many different projects we at Wolfson have supported over the years. An important subsidiary is the Nairobi-based African Flying Doctors service which, among other tasks, provides for the emergency evacuation of urgent medical cases from all over East and Central Africa to hospitals in Nairobi and elsewhere. The value of this service has recently been dramatically brought home to the Group. Last year Mwangala Lethbridge, the Zambian daughter-in-law of one of our longestserving members, Christopher Lethbridge, was seriously hurt in a traffic accident in Lusaka. Her multiple injuries were life-threatening, and it was immediately clear that she needed to be evacuated to Nairobi, and thence to the UK, if doctors were to save her life. A call was made to the Flying Doctors service, which immediately provided a special air ambulance. This flew Mwangala, accompanied by trained medical staff, to Nairobi, and from there she reached London by a commercial flight. Her condition was stabilised at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, but despite every effort by the surgeons, her right leg had to be amputated. At the time of writing Mwangala is making good progress, and she has nothing but the highest praise for the wonderful work done by Amref: ‘The swift and professional support I received from everyone at Amref undoubtedly saved my life. Now my ambition is to recover my mobility sufficiently to enter the London Marathon to raise money for Amref!’ The Group wishes her a speedy and full recovery, and looks forward to supporting her in the London Marathon. The Group liaises closely with Amref UK, and we have asked the Trusts and Foundations Officer at the London HQ, to give us a first hand account of working with, and for, Amref. Steph Mooney writes: ‘Since joining Amref Health Africa last year I’ve had the opportunity to see our work close up, and meet many of our generous supporters who make it happen. Last summer I travelled to Kenya to visit a maternal health project in Makueni 67
