The current number of doctors being educated and trained in Africa is too small to make a difference. East, Central and Southern Africa, a region with a population of around 200 million, has just 800 physicians in total – about as many as you would find in a European city with a population of 200,000.
The East, Central and Southern Africa College of Physicians was formed in 2015 with the remit of improving access to well-trained physicians across the region. Its ambitious goal: doubling the number of physicians being trained by 2030.
The RCP is working closely with the East African College, providing mentorship and technical support as it prepares to begin training at 12 new training units across Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Now, RCP president-elect Dr Andrew 'Bod' Goddard is cycling 2,018 miles around England and Wales, visiting as many acute NHS trusts as possible over a 16 month period. He is using his journey to raise money for, and awareness of, the new College’s essential work.
