Welcome to 1986!!

Malawi just got its first MRI machine and Africa got its second!! Looks like I'll be cancelling my trip to South Africa to check out that infection my my spine.


--Malawi has for the first time acquired a Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine worth U$1.3 million courtesy of Michigan State University. Speaking at the handover ceremony in Blantyre, Health Minister Khumbo Kachali said the machine will help government reduce expenses incurred when sending patients to South Africa for the service. He thanked the Michigan State University and the United States Embassy in the country for the donation. The machine is used to diagnose brain and spinal chord infections.

Spinal infection? You're just begging for a Lost reference, aren't you? Save it for September, Tex.
