Healthcare is a huge issue
throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, and Uganda is no exception. Imagine a doctor to
patient ratio of 1 to 25,000. The Majority of doctors live in the larger
cities, but 80% of Uganda’s population lives in rural areas where doctors and
nurses are scarce. Qualified health professionals such as doctors, nurses,
physician’s assistants, and physical therapists are welcome to assist in the
Iganga hospital in eastern Uganda.

Medical students may shadow and
assist in non-medical procedures or as allowed by the staff.

Participants must be at least 18
years old or older at the time of their program.
