We all will succeed so lets make Education for Health Africa and everyone else proud with putting in all the effort to what we can archive and get the qualification and to be the best in what we can do in our ability
So thank you

Dear Dr Zurba,
On behalf of our team based in Maputo, I would like to thank you and your team for your support, patience and guidance.
The students (Nurses) are better for the experience and will do your utmost to implement your recommendations in totality. I hope we have done justice based on the effort Ms Yvonne has given and we thank her for her dedication and diligence. Definitely all the students are grateful for the experience. They should comfortably make the deadline, the challenge over the past few days have been reduced numbers of patients. But this will increase again from tomorrow onwards.
Sincerest regards,
Yaseer
Dear Lindsay,
I am very grateful for your understanding and professional coaching through this process. You have really impacted a lot in my nursing career. I wish you well and your family.

Dear Annemie and Team @ Education For Health Africa
I would like to use this opportunity to thank you and your team for being an outstanding group of Facilitators & Assessors
Mrs. Annemie Van Zyl :
Not only are you good in your profession, but you take time to get to know each and every student that you come across
and make them feel that they can do anything that they put they mind to. Goodness how I wish my school teachers had the same compassion and way of teaching, then this world would have been so much better for our children.
When something was difficult to understand, you always found a way to simplify it so that all can get a better understanding of what to do, and that was one of the greatest methods that you used.
I will forever be grateful to you and your team
So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU !!!!
Thanks so much , sure I really appreciate it. Thanks for the guidance and the knowledge you gave me, its just priceless.
Oh, Wow!!
Thank you for the feedback and everything. Yvonne, thank you being a great mentor. Thank you, Education for Africa, for the great courses you provide.
Happy teachers day Lindsay
Thank you for making Spirometry easy
Dear Lindsay,
Thank you for taking me into this valuable training .
After this training I have gained interest in spirometry to the extend of having consideration to take further training in my master program/PhD research question in future (lung functioning among gold mining population). I hope you be available to assist me in this field.
Please would you resent me the certificate as I cannot find it in the attachments.
Regards,
Dear Sugendrie,
Good Day! Thank you very much for all the assistance and learning from you and the rest of the team of Education for Health Africa. I felt like a I was a student nurse again yesterday. Please send my regards to everyone and have a great weekend! Stay healthy and safe!
Thanks a lot, you are the best, will refer people if they need to study.
Good evening Bonita I hope you are well!
I wanted to thank the whole team of éducationhealthafrica for their accompaniment. Thank you! Thank you very much for everything!
Good Afternoon Bonita. Thank you so much. Wish I studied more intently though. PS, the whole zoom exam situation was in fact done so user friendly and easy. I do not know what I was expecting. It was so well done, thank you.
The online facilitation and platform are really good. Annemie is an amazing facilitator. The course was very good and I’d recommend it to anyone. I was reluctant to do an online course but found it very well managed despite load-shedding. Thanks for a great course.
I was Happy with all, thank you
Anne was exceptional and very thorough. She is a one in a million type of facilitator. I REALLY ENJOYED THE COURSE. And I am sure the rest of the class will agree. Thank you so much. I learned a lot!!!
Good Morning,
May I have this opportunity to appreciate your Business Leadership to considering challenges displayed and discussed with and allowing my attendance. Thank you very much and I also indicate to one of candidates to ensure completion.
Team work has been displayed and I appreciate your intervention.
Once more thank you very much.
Please may I also take a minute to thank EFHA (and especially you, Jene with an `), for allowing me to ponder and plod along with my courses as my time is so pressed and limited. It is very kind of EFHA. And all of you have the patience of Job. Thank you. I do honestly appreciate all the effort and kindness
Thank you very much Lindie, you are the best. Thank you so much for your support, patience and guidance. Have a lovely day further.
Thank you very much. A great big thank you for the professional and high standard of education you ensure.
Thank you so much Annemie, you are making this teaching so easy and enjoyable.
Dear Lindsay,
Thanks a million for your super efforts and for your patience with me. I confirm that Bonita and Petro have moved heaven and earth to help me. I appreciate everything you’ve done and am excited to be joining your course. A little scared also as I haven’t done an online or any type of audiometry course before. It’s going to be a big learning curve, but I look forward to the experience with you.
The feedback after the training was very positive and complimentary. Not one single complaint. Thank you!
Good evening all. Thank you so much for all your assistance and support with this course. I appreciate that my extension was granted as well. Continue the good work!
To Annemie, A big thank you! The course were taught but you made it so that we could understand, you were friendly approachable and your training was not boring. We were blessed to have u as a facilitator. Now things will change for the best, thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us and your communication skills are the best thanks for your remarkable training. I am qualified, trained by the best and highly favored. To the Team of Education for Health Africa: Keep up the good work.
Thank you and God bless.

Congratulations on your award at the EFHA. I just saw the mail now. I believe it’s an honor well deserved. You are passionate about imparting your students with knowledge and skills and you connect with us individually… I was part of the SP Training at the PATS conference in Kenya (2016) but I was lost at a point, I’m glad to have gone through your teachings now and I’m better for it! I wish you more outstanding feats in the future.
Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us on the different audiograms and their interpretation. The presentation was very interesting, insightful and informative; in fact, it is the highlight of our CME journey. I felt that your talk was especially timely as we prepare refresher trainings for our team.
Thank you very much.
It has been a great course and learnt a lot.
Most grateful.
Leagh and Lindsay are fantastic teachers online and in person.
Dear Annemie
Thank you for the feedback, I will definitely keep practicing my interpretations. I really feel blessed to be one of your student.
Your course presentation was the best.
Morning Team. Thank you so much for your service guys, the project was a success. Big thank you to everyone who was part of it.
Special note of thanks to Leagh – one of the most dedicated facilitators I have ever had the opportunity to work with. On behalf of the group a HUGE THANKS.
Good Afternoon Team
Thank you very much for your effort we really appreciate. You guys are stars.

Good day, Leagh and Petro
Thank you for your support and assistance throughout the course and thank you Leagh for an excellent presentation on line. I must say I was a bit hesitant with the on line training but you made it easy.
Thank you for being an excellent teacher.
Hi Leigh
Thank you some much!!!
Thanks for all your effort and patients with us. You are highly favourable, cause you did your utmost best for us. Keep up the good training skills. Training was well prepared and well presented by you.God bless
Warm regards
May-Louise
The course was applicable to occupational health and overall well worth the time. The information, documents etc. was clearly presented. Also very handy, is that we have a WhatsApp group on which we can still ask questions. We received documents from the WHO and also ordering spreadsheets which will assist to get the medications.
We only received the time when the course would be run the day before.
We are still awaiting the slides of the day and the proof/certificate of attendance.
It was well executed and informative. We were also able to interact even though it was done online
The course was well planned and all information structured for the day of great value.
It was of more value to me than the 3 day course because all information given was exactly what we needed to know and use in the clinic. Annemie could answer all questions with practical answers and not just book knowledge. Everyone attended also well informed with knowledge – the course could flow well without hold ups.
Well done
Thank you Linds.
I really enjoyed the course and I feel so much more confident in my skills.
Warmest regards
Megan Borthwick
Good evening team
Indeed 2020 has been amazing in terms of technology and innovation. Having been taken out of my traditional way of learning due to unforeseen worldly unfortunate circumstances, I can now contribute to online learning. I would prefer it today than a normal face to face classroom teaching as I am moving on with the 21st century educational empowerment.
Thank you team and enjoy the festive season.
Thank you for the Christmas wishes and the same to you & your wonderful team.
Thank you for always being there for us in OH and for evolving the business as fast as do the times .
Many blessings to you and the family.
Seasons greetings to all. It’s been such a great pleasure being your student, thx so much.
Good day Leagh
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed the course. Your knowledge of audiometry and the manner in which you presented the material, made it so much easier to understand. Thank you once again, it was a pleasure meeting you.
Thank you. Have’nt done spirometry testing in almost 10 years, but the workshop very helpful
Well done to Education for Health Africa it was the best workshop. Thank you to SASOHN GC for opening this platform. We had good IT in service training.
As always Lindsay did a wonderful informative presentation
The COVID-19 E-Training was my first time doing E-Training. I was (excited) nervous, but with the support I got from you guys, I enjoyed it very much. Working self-paced suited me very well and also made me less nervous. It was not difficult to follow, but the hard copy helped a lot being my first time doing E-Training (and I am sure it will go much better the second time around). I gained a lot of knowledge which I applied in my job as a COVID-19 Officer on a farm. I also understand COVID-19 much better know.
Thanks again for your help and support. It really put me at ease and more comfortable doing the assessments and to submit.
Lindsay and team, I have to take my hat off for you guys. With someone like myself who is illiterate in online matters, your skills, understanding and patience are great. To the teacher, Lindsay, you have what it takes to accommodate everyone’s academic understanding. To Brannon, thanks young man for your untiring support, keen and available attitude. To Petro and Wilna, your communication and follow up is all appreciated. Thank you team EFHA.

Good morning Karin, Thank you so much I got my results. I would really like to thank you for all your hard work, dedication to your work and your patience you have for all of us (students). And your detailed strict marking..which with no doubt will make us competent. Thank you.
Hi Karin. I should really thank you and Lindie for such a great job, caring and patience you name it. Please keep up with your excellent work, many people wanting to do the course because of the need in South Africa. I know where to refer them. You have motivated me to do the Occupational Health.
Lindsay Zurba has conducted effective, energising and motivating training across Africa for two decades. As a direct result of this training, I have seen multiple authors publish the first spirometric data from their counties and motivate the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease in those regions.
Lindsay has successfully delivered seven short courses in foundational spirometry competence, and as many workshops in spirometry quality assurance as part of our MRC funded ‘Lung health in Africa across the Lifecourse’ programme supported by IMPALA. The course and accompanying workshop are designed to upskill African researchers and establish clear spirometry quality assurance processes and guidelines within their institutions. All of Lindsay’s training has been well received by participants and her boundless energy and expertise are an asset to the programme.
It has been a great pleasure working with Lindsay for the past 3 years, in Malawi. I would highly recommend her and her team for the high quality of their spirometry teaching, the commitment they show to their work and students, and the sense of fun they bring to their training sessions.
I have known Lindsay Zurba for over 7 years, and in that time I have been thoroughly impressed with her passion, organisation, determination and execution of delivering world class spirometry training courses in several countries across Africa. Her work with the European Respiratory Society Spirometry Group has contributed much to set an international standard in spirometry training so that people across the globe with undiagnosed lung disease can be accurately identified, and started on appropriate treatment. Not only does Lindsay have peerless expertise in teaching and performing quality assured diagnostic spirometry, she has an unrivalled network of spirometry trainers, experts and practitioners across much of Africa to deliver the training.
Lindsay Zurba is a dedicated master trainer of spirometry of international repute. She brings her uncommon and astute expertise to unravel the seemingly difficult conduct and interpretation of spirometry and its readings. Friends of the University College Hospital trainees are asking for more! Above all, she is kind and loving, two characteristics that engender trust and confidence in her trainees.
Lindsay’s commitment to improving lung health in Africa by supporting the development of skilled spirometry technicians and increasing the availability of spirometry equipment is second to none. I am privileged to have become great friends with Lindsay over the spirometer in Africa. I am one of many people working in the field of lung health and tuberculosis in Africa who hold Lindsay in high esteem and rate the work she and her colleagues do extremely highly.
