Livingstone's Hospital: The Story of Chitambo
()
About this ebook
Chitambo Hospital was built in memory of Livingstone over a hundred years ago, by his nephew, Malcolm Moffat. Two of Livingstone's grand-children worked there and his youngest daughter, Anna made a pilgrimage to the spot in 1915. Generations of nurses and doctors followed in Livingstone's footsteps and gave of themselves to keep the hospital running.
Livingstone's Hospital sets out to tell the story of a vibrant and living memorial to one of history's poorly-understood heroes.
Marion A. Currie
Born into a family of medical missionaries, Marion was immediately caught up in the legacy of Scottish doctor-explorer David Livingstone whose influence helped shape the course of history in Zambia. Marion's unusual African childhood and several return trips to Chitambo were the inspiration for telling the story of Chitambo Hospital. Marion qualified as a doctor at Edinburgh University in 1980 and is the Medical Director of Hospice Wanganui in New Zealand. She is married to Guy and they have two sons, Greg and Theo. She loves to travel, especially to Zambia, and enjoys travel writing.
