Lesotho’s national paper, the Public Eye, published a wonderful article about the new family medicine specialty training program. Below is a link to the article for your reading pleasure. Be sure to read to the end to catch a great quote from the Director General of Health Services. And thanks to everyone who had a part in making it happen! bu-in-the-public-eye.PDF
On Monday, January 14, 2008, the Lesotho-Boston Health Alliance officially launched its Family Medicine specialty training program. Two residents are now on board with a third to join shortly.
Lesotho Medical Association in partnership with Boston University is launching a website www.lesothodoctors.org. This website aims to enhance information exchange and communication among Lesotho’s physicians. It will serve as a tool for recruiting Basotho physicians to return to Lesotho for training in family medicine, as a link between Basotho medical students at schools abroad to physicians back home, as a forum for all physicians to exchange ideas through online discussions, and as a source of information on relevant news, events, opportunities for training, and relevant publications and research.
