RB has a knee operation

President Rupiah Banda on June 11 underwent a successful minor orthopaedic procedure for a knee problem that has been troubling him in recent days. Medical Doctors who conducted the procedure called arthroscopy said the minor operation was very successful and the President is expected to make a complete recovery within a short period of time. He is expected to be discharged from hospital late June 11.

President Banda is in South Africa with other regional leaders attending the ongoing World Economic Forum in Cape Town. The president on June 10 held closed-door bilateral talks with his South African counterpart Jacob Zuma and Kenyan prime minister Raila Odinga on the sidelines of the Forum.
