Dr. Charles Akena

The heart-throb of Makutano – or at least one of them!

Charles arrives in Makutano as the new doctor at the Health Centre. He is charged with caring for the health of Makutano's residents and he has a daily fight to keep people healthy and strong. He is a modern man and a big support for the chief when addressing issues such as men’s reproductive health and female circumcision. He is a lady’s man – many a Makutano woman fall for him…despite his appalling trumpet playing!
