Elizabeth Mantell (24 June 1941 – 27 January 1998) was a Scottish midwife and nurse who was born in Africa and spent much of her life as a medical missionary in Malawi, Africa. Her story is part of the Scotland-Malawi partnership and the strong relationship between the two countries, providing service for the under-serviced hospitals in Mulanje and Ekwendi. Mantell was best known for her significant contribution to the development of the Ekwendeni Nurses' Training School in Malawi, practicing holistic care, and being one of the pioneering female medical missionaries of the latter 20th Century.
