Work the World Reviews

I quickly learnt that I could be of use just by holding someone's hand or offering a few comforting words in Swahili

There was one paediatrics ward which was split in two - contagious (diarrhoea) and non-contagious, which was mostly malaria and pneumonia. There were often two children (and two mums) to a bed.

Busy would be an understatement. Babies were being delivered every 5 to 10 minutes at peak

I had the best time and am already planning another Work the World placement once I am qualified

I had the chance to monitor and examine women during labour and perform a large number of deliveries. I was also able to get involved when women needed interventions such as putting in catheters, cannulas and also performing artificial rupture of membranes, episiotomies and suturing post partum.
