I recently enjoyed spending 3 weeks in Zimbabwe. The visit was primarily to catch up with family as my son lives in Harare.  While I was there, I was able to spend several days at Parirenyatwa Hospital which is the largest hospital in the country and the primary teaching hospital. I gave talks to the registrars (British equivalent of residents) and visited in the operating theatre and clinic. We also traveled as a family to several large national parks and visited Victoria Falls.
