    Each day begins with a bus ride from your accommodation in Arusha to the hospital via public transport.

Depending on your skills and interests, you may rotate between various departments, including emergency care, midwifery, pharmacy, or surgery.

    Your work will involve both direct patient care (such as assisting with deliveries, providing medical support, or helping with minor procedures) and supporting hospital operations, such as preparing medical supplies or assisting in the pharmacy. Every day presents a new set of challenges and learning opportunities, as you work in a fast-paced environment where your contributions are truly appreciated.

    You will finish your day at 3:00 pm, but there’s flexibility to work additional hours, including night shifts or weekends if desired. This ensures that you gain as much hands-on experience as possible while helping meet the community’s needs.
