Medic to Medic

The Green Safaris Conservation Foundation is proud to support a meaningful partnership with Medic to Medic, a UK-based charity that provides scholarships and resources for trainee health professionals in low-resource settings like Malawi. With a severe national shortage – just two doctors per 100,000 people – Medic to Medic plays a vital role in strengthening the country’s healthcare system by funding tuition, medical equipment, and essential learning materials for students who would otherwise be unable to complete their training.

In 2023, the organization launched its elective placement program to raise sustainable funding for scholarships. For every international medical student hosted in Malawi, Medic to Medic can fund a scholarship for a local student. Green Safaris Foundation supports this initiative on Likoma Island, providing accommodation at Mango Drift Lodge and contributing to daily costs.
From April to May 2025, final-year UK medical students Ffion, Grace, and Amy completed their electives at St. Peter’s Hospital, working five days a week in clinical care and leading impactful community health projects. Their initiatives included:

– Distributing 150 period poverty kits to girls on the island
– Providing 520 mosquito nets to students at Likoma Secondary School
– Conducting first aid training (CPR, recovery position, choking response) at four local schools
– Conducting a malaria audit, which showed a 12.5% prevalence – above the national average – and targeting future improvements through prevention
The elective group raised over 8 million Malawi Kwacha before their trip, which enabled the local production and procurement of all project materials. Their visit also raised over 2.9 million MWK in profits for Medic to Medic – enough to fund three new scholarships for Malawian students.
