Luena is an important town on the railway line which runs through the middle of Angola from the Atlantic to the Congolese border. It has a long history of medical mission work, conducted by workers from UK and Canada, which was interrupted by Angola’s civil war. Since the ending of hostilities a team of medical workers including Doctors Juan and Adriana Palacios from Argentina have most commendably revived the work and MMN supports them through the provision of medical aids.
