Government Medical Officer in Lesotho

Many people asked me why I was going abroad when apparently settled comfortably and securely in England, and I hastened to assure them that it was n?t on account of disillusionment with medical practice 'here! I had three equally-weighted reasons to exPenence a temporary change from English general Practice, to see something more of the world and its 'V|ng and working conditions and finally, I hoped, to some useful work in a place where doctors were scarce. I therefore approached the Ministry of OverSeas Development in London, who arranged my aPpointment. I wished to work in Africa, preferably in a mountainous country, giving Uganda as first choice, Partly influenced by Bristol's medical connections Kampala, and Lesotho as second. At the time here were no vacancies in Uganda, and so arrangements were made for me to come to Lesotho.
