Tom has been the DMO in Kambia for just over one year. He said, “The Kambia Appeal has been assisting the health services in Kambia for many years. They have helped us make important improvements in the training of our local staff, in terms of strengthening their maternal and child health skills, which is vital work. I am always happy to receive Kambia Appeal visitors from the UK and to work together in helping the people in the district. Together we are doing important work in reducing the number of women and children dying due to easily treatable illnesses.”
