It was Prof. Marcus Scultz's first visit and he dealt with the basics of managing complicated malaria particularly with respiratory problems in our situation of resource-crunch.
The trio have combined together for a very noble purpose

These researchers had lively interaction sessions with our faculties and DNB trainees.
