During this period the ANC and MK were exiled from South Africa, and in order to maintain unity and order in the exile movement and liberation struggle, the ANC developed a bureaucratic structure that included a health department. In the early 1960s, healthcare infrastructure was merely a simple clinic in rural Tanzania but by the late 1970s, the department had facilities and health delivery teams in Tanzania, Zambia, Angola, and Mozambique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melissa has also won previous honours including the prestigious <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/2014\/doctoral-student-wins-vanier-award\/\">Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship back in 2014<\/a>.
