Tanzania
2024

I think Tanzania is a fantastic country. The people are very sweet and welcoming and the nature is beautiful. I already felt at home there after just two days. I did two projects and two outreaches. I really enjoyed working at the Hospital. I have seen syndromes and case studies there that I am very happy to have seen. I did feel like I had a lot of responsibility. I performed many actions independently. There was however, the language barrier. Patients and family speak KiSwahili while we spoke only English, but in the end everything worked out fine. My time at Medical Center was very different. The staff seemed senior trained, the care was better, but also much slower. I really enjoyed the Outreaches. There, I really felt like I could help and contribute. I have vaccinated babies there and carried out preventive screenings. I had thought in advance that the accommodation would really be in the middle of the city, but when I opened the doors the first morning and saw nothing but jungle, I thought it was incredible. The house moms were so sweet. Every day, they put their heart and soul into taking care of us. They will forever have a special place in my heart. The rooms were nice. I found it very valuable to see this experience as a kind of pre-work internship. That I was able to get up close to all these departments is something that I cherish immensely. I think that the preparation with Let's Go Africa is very nice if you are going abroad for the first time. You will have a lot to deal with and thanks to the checklist you can be sure that you will not forget anything!
