Going
to a developing country to conduct nursing has
to be one of the most rewarding trips any medical
professional could undergo.
like much of Africa has very poor healthcare facilities
for the millions of people who live on such a
small income. Our medical placements reach out
to some of the districts most in need.
The
clinics are small and in communities that have
high HIV rates and the general standard of living
is lower than most of the more populated areas
in Kenya. You will find in these clinics one or
two doctors and several support staff.
Despite
the cost of basic medications being very, very
cheap compared to the west, for many its simply
out of reach and many people get treatments without
paying or end up in debt. Some women even prostituting
themselves to pay outstanding medical bills that
add up to just $30. Medical students are welcome.
The
resources are tight so training would be limited
to just spending one-to one time with the Doctor.
The experience would however provide an insight
into African medical care and tropical diseases
and combined with the work you could conduct would
be very beneficial to your resume.
Despite
the dated equipment, limited resources the patients
and medical staff warmly welcome those willing
to come and help from 2 weeks to 6 months. Volunteers
could not only change lives, but save them.
These
