    Interim Site Lead for GHHM SA

    “ The GHHM course is an amazing opportunity for MDs working in Lower and Middle Income countries or those who wish to do so to hone their diagnostic skills and provide appropriate treatment to those populations adversely affected by infectious diseases and humanitarian crises. The enthusiasm of the alumni speaks volumes as they donate their precious time voluntarily to help shepherd yet another group of students through this rich and varied course delivered by subject matter experts who can give real examples based on their vast experience. ”
