    Over het programma

    Help Improve the Community's Access to Quality Healthcare

    Join us for a transformative 4-week journey in Livingstone, Zambia, where you’ll become an integral part of a global health initiative designed to revolutionise access to quality healthcare in this vibrant town.

    This unique internship program transcends traditional observation, placing you at the forefront of impactful change. You’ll collaborate with passionate healthcare workers, professionals, and NGOs, gaining invaluable insights into the current health landscape. Your contributions will extend far beyond passive observation. Partner with local communities to understand their specific healthcare needs and challenges, analysing data and engaging in open dialogue. Witness firsthand the challenges and triumphs of delivering effective care in a resource-limited setting.


    Public Healthcare

    Expand your understanding by joining home-based care visits on the outskirts of Livingstone. Witness the dedication and resilience of healthcare workers as they navigate the daily difficulties and limitations of the healthcare system. This immersive experience will challenge your perspectives and equip you with invaluable knowledge and empathy, shaping your future contributions to the field of public health.


    Proactive Outreach

    Effecting interventions at grassroots level can be highly useful in accomplishing change. Engage in dynamic discussions on critical issues like teenage pregnancy, pre- and post-natal care, and disease management alongside local midwives and healthcare experts. Witness firsthand the challenges and triumphs of proactive outreach and preventive care as you connect with at-risk individuals in the community.


    Workshops

    By delivering a series of workshops on varying topics, you’ll find your internship experience to be dynamic and fulfilling in surprising ways. Your role goes beyond simply delivering information. You’ll foster a safe and inclusive space where open dialogue and active participation are encouraged. You may present on HIV, talk to different schools or establishments, or compare the dynamics of rural vs urban medicine.
