The meeting attracted over 200 participants representing a range of health-related activities going on in Malawi. Ms Grace Banda won the prize for the best medical student presentation for her work on “Acceptibility of companionship during labour”. For the second year, a session was devoted to a selection of year 4 student-project presentations and these were very good. Major work of national and international relevance was presented such as beneficial impact of the Hib vaccine, return of chloroquine efficacy in children with malaria in Ndirande and variety of work related to tackling the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The quantity (69 this year) and quality of presentations improved on previous years. As in previous years, it was held at the Mahatma Ghandi Campus of the College of Medicine on the day following the last day of final year student examinations. The meeting was opened by the guest of honour, Dr Charles Mwansambo as Chairman of the National Health Sciences Research Committee.
In that sense, it was a celebration of another milestone for the College of Medicine. The theme for the 2006 College of Medicine Research Dissemination Meeting was “A decade of research dissemination”.
