Medical support system

Litinesi

How many times did you go to the Dr. this past year?  Annual check-up?  Flu?  Routine tests?  The health care back-up many of us take for granted is not available to the majority of people in the world.

We learned that one of our long-time, loyal Sinkhani health workers in Malawi passed away suddenly this week. We just shared with her in the Malawi health worker training 3 weeks ago when this picture was taken.  We have no details regarding her illness but the odds of her being cared for in a state-of-the-art medical system are nil.

Over the many years Litinesi has served as a Sinkhani, literally hundreds if not thousands of babies and mothers have benefitted from her tireless teaching and monitoring of babies.  Litinesi leaves behind 5 children ages 6 to 17.  She will be deeply missed.
