WE GO BEYOND FOR YOU.

Before surgery, an anaesthesia professional prepares and protects you.

When pain is severe, they help.

When breathing is in danger or someone has stopped breathing, they respond.

When a patient is critically ill, they step forward.

Anaesthesia is more than putting someone to sleep. It is about protecting life, controlling pain and keeping patients safe before, during and beyond surgery.

In Malawi, we have too few anaesthesia professionals for the growing need. Too often, their work is essential but unseen.

ANAESTHETIST SPOTLIGHT:
REX PETER JAMALI

This week, we spotlight Rex Peter Jamali, an Anaesthetic Clinical Officer at Salima District Hospital, as he shares what inspired his journey into anaesthesia.

“I was inspired by a very young anaesthetist"
During my practicals in 2014, I witnessed a spinal anaesthesia for a Caesarean section.
I was fascinated by the young anaesthetist’s confidence, precision, the responsibility he had and knowledge.

Ndinkadzifunsa kuti, “Kodi anaesthetist ndi ndani? Amagwira ntchito yanji ? ,Nanga ndingathe kuchita zimenezi?”
That moment sparked my curiosity, and eventually I knew anaesthesia was the path I wanted to pursue.

I love the teamwork, problem solving and responsibility involved in caring for patients. Being part of a team managing emergencies and saving lives gives me great fulfilment.

My message:
Master the basics, Respect the airway, Never stop learning and Always stay calm
