    Over het programma

    Nairobi's health system operates at a scale and under resource constraints that most students from Europe or North America never see first-hand. This elective places medical and nursing students, and qualified professionals, in hospitals and clinics across the city's suburbs and informal settlements — a mix of small local facilities and Level 3 and Level 4 district hospitals.

    You rotate through departments rather than sitting in one, which is rather the point: over a placement you are likely to meet presentations and a disease burden that simply do not turn up in your home hospitals. Tigoni Hospital, one of the regular placements, is a Level 4 district hospital in Limuru with more than 200 beds, running antenatal and maternity services including caesareans, immunisation, TB diagnosis and treatment, family planning, radiology and antiretroviral therapy.

    How much you observe versus do depends entirely on your training and year of study. Students observe and assist; qualified staff take on more. The local team will not put you beyond your competence, and you should not ask them to.

    Your exact placement is assigned closer to the time, based on availability. One practical note worth knowing before you book: transport to and from your hospital is not included in the programme fee. Most interns share an Uber and budget roughly $5–7 a day.
