Student Spotlight: Cynthia Malinda

Meet Cynthia Malinda, a second year Veterinary Medicine student currently attached to the Central Veterinary Laboratory (CVL), Lilongwe.

During her attachment, Cynthia is gaining practical experience in toxicology sample processing, where she is involved in the preparation and analysis of samples to help identify possible poisoning cases in animals.

Her activities include processing samples such as liver tissues through procedures like grinding, filtration, and preparation of extracts before chemical analysis to determine the specific toxins present.

Through this attachment, Cynthia is building valuable laboratory skills while deepening her understanding of veterinary diagnostics, especially in disease investigation and toxicological analysis. Although she will rotate through other sections of the Central Veterinary Laboratory during her training, her work so far has focused on the Bacteriology and Toxicology sections, where she has gained hands on experience with essential diagnostic practices that form the foundation of veterinary laboratory work.

LUVESA Attends Animal Welfare and One Health Public Lecture

On 7th July 2026, members of the LUANAR Veterinary Students Association (LUVESA) attended an engaging Animal Welfare and One Health Public Lecture organized by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and facilitated by Brooke.
The session was led by James Kathuki and Raphael from Brooke.

James explored the evolution of animal welfare science, emphasizing the importance of integrating animal, human, and environmental health through the One Health approach. He highlighted how animal welfare contributes to disease prevention, food security, climate resilience, and sustainable development, while encouraging students to start where they are, remain true to their profession, and uphold high standards of veterinary service after graduation.

Raphael shared valuable insights on career opportunities within the veterinary industry, encouraging students to ask more questions, explore emerging opportunities instead of following unsuccessful paths, cultivate a culture of saving, and continuously develop additional skills that enhance their professional growth.
The lecture was both informative and inspiring, equipping students with knowledge that will shape their future careers and strengthen their understanding of the vital role veterinarians play in advancing One Health.

LUVESA sincerely thanks the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine for organizing this enriching public lecture and for continuously creating opportunities that connect students with experienced professionals. We also appreciate Brooke, James Kathuki, and Raphael for sharing their knowledge and inspiring the next generation of veterinarians.
