Have you been thinking about doing your elective with Work the World in Asia, but can’t quite decide whether to chose Nepal or Sri Lanka? I completely understand your dilemma – both countries offer so much, but are so different from each other. It’s difficult to imagine what to expect or what to base your decision on.
To help you with your choice, I wanted to give you a little overview of the hospitals, the houses and what makes these destinations particularly special!
Clinical opportunities
A ward in Nepal
In Nepal we are based in Pokhara and we’ve partnered with a couple of large hospitals from both public and private sectors. The government hospital generally offers an excellent insight into basic healthcare provision for Nepal’s working class population. It’s a good option for students with an interest in primary healthcare and general fields of medicine and nursing and has proved particularly positive for general surgery, emergency and obstetrics and gynaecology.
