Norbert Kamaleu - Equipment Maintenance Trainee CHU Yaounde, Cameroon “I am very satisfied with the India training sponsored by RTS. All my equipment is functioning and I am still working in my department; This is the torch light that i make using local material. For the moment I am working on our ophthalmic equipment; the experience in India has been very enriching for me; their technology and working conditions are very close to the ones in our continent. I have had many interesting and innovative ideas since returning. I am very appreciative of your work and I am very proud of you. You work thoroughly and the results are there"
