 Travellers Health is proud help sponsor the Mutima Project.

The Mutima project is a project based in Christchurch supported by volunteers (mostly medical) with the following aims to be carried out over the next five years:

1. Support a cardiac surgical team from New Zealand to perform 100 life-saving heart operations on young underprivileged Zambian patients at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka,
2. Work towards the development of a sustainable local infrastructure at UTH,
3. Facilitate the establishment of a dedicated cardiac surgery unit for Zambia, and
4. Provide future training opportunities for Zambian medical staff.

Mutima means heart in Zambia and with no cardiac surgery unit in Zambia there are a large number of patients on the waiting list with no chance of ever getting their operations. With our project we aim to make a difference to some of these patients and hope that by setting up a sustainable cardiac unit, a lot more can be helped in the long run.
