A new chapter begins in Malawi! @MLW_Programme
My PhD is a fusion of tropical medicine, global health, D&E and obstetric medicine.
I've been quiet on here since our boy arrived in style - hoping to be more professionally active via @ObsMedAfrica (The PRONE Study) from now x

ALT Cover of The Lancet July 13, 2024 Issue. Quote reads: "Historically, gestational diabetes was considered a pregnancy complication involving treatment of rising glycaemia late in the second trimester. However, recent evidence challenges this view."
Every woman in The PRONE study has a fetal ultrasound scan at their first antenatal booking appointment by a trained midwife. Organising almost a thousand fetal ultrasound scans is not straightforward -with powercuts and stock-outs of basic consumables such as gel.Well done team!
Very proud of this photograph. It shows how well integrated our two PRONE team members are with the government staff at Ndirande Health Centre in Blantyre, Malawi.
Death by lateral flow. Thanks to Vincent our lab tech for capturing the concentration 😅
Not a lab project by any means, just catching up with a batch of serum samples from our first participants 👍
5ul is a very small volume, and prone to error, that’s what I learnt..
What the world will learn about NCDs in pregnancy in SSA depends on the care and precision with which these four women approach their work on a daily basis.
Makes sense to look after them!

Maternal sepsis kills too many mothers - 17 a day die in Uganda from this. Maternal sepsis week (12-18 May) raises awareness of this devastating condition. The @apt_sepsis trial, involving 30 sites in Uganda and 30 in Malawi aims to bring positive change. #AtTheEquatorUG
