Advance medical education in Africa
A fundraiser supporting Global Medical Knowledge
Global Medical Knowledge seeks to use technology to bridge the medical knowledge gap between developed and developing nations.
Currently, Global Medical Knowledge (GMK) is working with the only medical school in Malawi: The College of Medicine in Blantyre. GMK is leveraging technology and medical/IT expertise in the US/Europe to enhance the curriculum and resources available to the college. The goal is to improve medical education, which will in turn improve healthcare availability.
