Testimonials

I rotated around the general medical, paediatric and accident & emergency departments. This gave me the opportunity to see diseases that you seldom see, or have only ever heard about.

I was able to work with the paediatric patients and their mothers. This was my favourite part of the placement as it provided an opportunity to observe and treat paediatric cases which are rare in the United Kingdom.

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.
