Africamp - Medical Electives

In A Nutshell

medical assistance in kenyaWe operate in several areas of Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal, offering medical placements to students interested in combining their elective with the experience of differing lifestyles, cultures and medical treatment in developing countries.

We integrate our medical students with the community and provide security and support through the very strong network of representatives and staff that we have in Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal.

We set up all the arrangements with the hospital or clinic and provide strong staff back-up to introduce you to life in East Africa or Nepal, and assist with your working routine. We provide accommodation, transport and all the facilities you will need, and you also receive an allowance in local currency for your daily food and living costs. Most electives last six weeks and can be done at any time of the year.

The concept is to bring medical students to Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal as part of their ongoing studies at University or their Professional Development Plan.
The student's experience is as well rounded as possible and there is safety and access to good supervision, staff back-up and integration into the local community. Our priorities are:

1) To see a range of conditions which you are unlikely to have seen in practise in Europe and to offer a professional package with excellent back-up and options.

2) To gain invaluable experience in prioritising with limited resources.

3) To be involved with communities in planning and developing health
promotion programmes, allowing multi-disciplinary team work and leadership skills.

baby ward4) To develop personal, financial and organisational skills, within a broad ecological criteria. Remaining sensitive to environmental, social and cultural requirements.

5) To be part of a programme that increases the profile of health care in the community. To understand the psychological implications of HIV, hepatitis and other socio-economic problems.

All of these areas have a real need for multi-disciplinary health care specialists and doctors.
