Personally can I thank you and your team for doing an amazing job. I have never been to a conference where I have seen so many positive outcomes, even the very negative papers were turned into positives. You and your staff did an amazing job, and I don't know about the logistics of you organising a similar conference for Tanzania, but I shall do my best to ensure that you are involved. Viva la Madam Healy.
