SoldarMed "Kupela Clarke, what motivates you to work for SolidarMed? I joined SolidarMed because I am passionate about supporting the Zambian healthcare system. We show solidarity with health workers and communities working and living in difficult conditions. Together with the government, we analyse the causes of the lack of health professionals in rural areas and advocate for improvements. In this way, SolidarMed works holistically, which motivates me a lot."
