"A Year In The Life: Healing Africa" Synopsis: 100 Words

Dr. Peter Mwaba is one of 600 Zambians who achieved their medical degrees in Lusaka between 1978 and 1999, and is one of only 50 who remain in Zambia. He is fighting health crises in Zambia on two crucial fronts. As the Chief of Medicine at the only teaching hospital in Zambia, he is training new doctors. To provide the immediate care that is required, he helped found an AIDS hospice and community-based treatment center just miles from the teaching hospital. Along with his colleagues, he has created a model program using women in the community to provide health care.
