At Sedate Africa Safaris, we believe that Uganda is one of the best destinations in Africa for medical Electives with an aura of medical diversity but not leaving without mentioning that it’s the “Pearl of Africa.” You will engage in a Health Care system that is growing in a developing African country which will help you develop skills that any medical trainee will find very resourceful.
On that background, At Sedate African Safaris, we are privileged to partner with various hospitals in Uganda for International medical student’s placements. These include both Government Aided, Privately Owned and Medical Training Hospitals. The diversity is rich in selection as they include both Urban placed and Rural placed in the different parts of the country. It’s without doubt that any medical trainee will experience first-hand experience but also a wide range of choices depending on their need, but also having a chance to be spoilt with choice on which kind of placement they are looking for. And as always Sedate African Safaris will be your one stop centre.
However, during your medical elective internship in Uganda, you will see and experience a healthcare quite deferent from your home country, and this will help you build confidence by stepping out of your comfort zone. This unique experience will put you ahead of your peers. Furthermore, it will help you build a network to tap into during your career but notwithstanding, strengthening your academic profile.
