Testimonials

The positive ethos and spirit of both staff and patients alike was extremely heart-warming

I quickly learnt that I could be of use just by holding someone's hand or offering a few comforting words in Swahili

The highlight of my placement was going to an outreach clinic, then having king coconuts with the registrars on the side of the road on the way back.

Many patients presented late, so I saw fairly advanced and destructive tumours

There was one paediatrics ward which was split in two - contagious (diarrhoea) and non-contagious, which was mostly malaria and pneumonia. There were often two children (and two mums) to a bed.
