Phindile Chitsulo is an ambitious young nutritionist with a deep concern for children, especially those who are susceptible to HIV/AIDS.

Chitsulo recently joined MSH as an assistant statistician, building on several years of experience as a nutritionist with a University of North Carolina health education project in Malawi, which helped expectant mothers to prevent prenatal and antenatal HIV transmission.
