Motec representatives had a wonderful meeting with Chief Patron Prof Lord David Alton on 14th of January 2019. The team of 5 led by Mr Ofori-Atta briefed Lord Alton on some of the areas that our charity is engaged in on the ground in Ghana and UK. Lord Alton encouraged the charity to continue to provide help for underprivileged people in Ghana, even if the numbers are not large. Training the trainers will continue  to be our main objective and specialist surgical services to those who would otherwise have been left in the 'dungeon'.

The team had the unique opportunity to sit in the House of Lords Chambers to observe the debate on Brexit. Mr Ofori-Atta  also had an opportunity  to discuss surgical training opportunities with Lord Ribeiro. 

Dr Ash Bhagat  at and Nick Tessier presented the radiology project, Victoria Tetley-isles presented education of special needs children while Mrs Sarah Paterson elaborated on her plan to support physically disabled children in Ghana. 

Our sincere gratitude to Lord Alton all  our volunteers and our sympathisers.
