20-year-old Zimbabwean medical student Malone Mukwende initiated the project "Mind the Gap", a Clinical Handbook of signs and symptoms in Black and Brown skin. The aims of the project are to highlight the lack of diversity in medical literature and education and offer a solution to this situation.

The project began after Malone recognised that the images being shown in clinical skills sessions weren’t representative of people with darker skin tones. As a result, Malone approached his personal tutor, and "Mind the Gap" was born at St. George's University in London.

Since the announcement of the project, Malone has featured in multiple interviews, appearing in news stories around the globe, sharing his vision to change the medical curriculum. With the handbook now widely available, it is hoped that more doctors and patients will be able to benefit from the content.
