The countdown is on... 2 weeks to go until the Pangea program begins in Lilongwe!

We are so excited to be back in Malawi and are looking forward to coming together with local doctors, nurses, clinician officers and medical students for another education program focused on sharing knowledge, small group workshops and learning from one another.

Almost time!

🌍 Meet the Team: Loreta

We’re excited to introduce Loreta, a Clinical Nurse Consultant in neurosurgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, joining Pangea’s 2026 Malawi education team.

Loreta has been on her nursing journey for 40 years and has specialised in neurosurgery since 1990. She remains fascinated by the brain and is looking forward to sharing her experience and learning alongside local clinicians in Malawi.

Her connection to Africa began in 1992, when she travelled there with the hope of volunteering. More than 30 years later, she is excited to return and contribute to Pangea’s work.

Outside of nursing, Loreta is a mum of four and loves swimming!

Welcome to the team, Loreta! 💙

🌍 Meet the Team: Dr Rebecca

We’re excited to introduce Dr Rebecca, a junior general surgery registrar from Auckland, New Zealand, joining Pangea’s 2026 Malawi education team.
Rebecca has a strong background in medical education, having worked as a bioethics tutor, anatomy demonstrator and public health tutor at the University of Otago. She also incorporates teaching into her clinical work in Auckland.

This will be Rebecca’s first visit to Malawi, and she is looking forward to working alongside local clinicians and contributing to medical student education. Most of all, she’s excited for the opportunity to learn how medicine and surgery are practised in a different setting and to share knowledge along the way.

Outside of medicine, Rebecca enjoys live music, hiking, good food with friends and sunshine.

We’re thrilled to have you joining the team, Rebecca! 💙
