Village Healthcare Week Elective Placement Reviews

"The constant practice in a resource-limited environment helped solidify these skills in a way that theoretical learning alone couldn’t achieve".

"My uni doesn’t offer an elective as part of my degree. I’d always been really interested in healthcare abroad, so it seemed too much of a good opportunity to miss out on."

"The hospital team were so welcoming. The ED is a fast paced environment, you definitely get more opportunities if you’re proactive".

"Adding the village healthcare week onto my placement really helped me have a better understanding of the whole Ghanaian healthcare system and actually just the Ghanian culture."

"A man came in quite poorly. He was really delirious and obviously needed oxygen. But the family couldn’t afford it, so he didn’t get it."
