Ruedi Lüthy Foundation "Ruedi Lüthy: In spring and autumn of last year, I visited Newlands Clinic in Harare. What particularly impressed me was the good atmosphere in the team and people’s sense of purpose and determination when going about their work. But it’s more than just that: if necessary, our team will always go the extra mile for our patients. The effort pays off. We have lost hardly any patients and never have so many had a suppressed viral load. Even so, there have also been difficult moments. For example, we had numerous patients with advanced cancer seeking help from Newlands Clinic."
