MASERU – The East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC) has called on Lesotho to join its health colleges and get its medical practitioners trained as specialists in fields of their choice. Lesotho will not only benefit from having highly skilled medical specialists which will be trained at home, but will also finally address the shortage of specialists in the country. ECSA – HC has seven health sciences colleges in the African region which offer ‘college without walls’ kind of training in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, nursing and midwifery and surgery, to mention a few. Specialists are trained from their countries of residence or a place they choose to practice at within the ECSA region.
