These sites have low numbers of experienced Zambian health staff. We also need medical professionals to lecture at the University of Zambia, School of Medicine and University Teaching Hospital to help develop an incountry specialist teaching faculty. The presence of VSO volunteers will also enable local health professionals to take time to continue their professional development.
