Healthcare Placement in Tanzania - Dar es Salaam Reviews

There was one paediatrics ward, which was split in two - contagious (diarrhoea) and non-contagious, mainly malaria and pneumonia.

Busy would be an understatement. Babies were being delivered every 5 to 10 minutes at peak

I had the best time and am already planning another Work the World placement once I am qualified

I had the chance to monitor and examine women during labour and perform a large number of deliveries. I was also able to get involved when women needed interventions such as putting in catheters, cannulas and also performing artificial rupture of membranes, episiotomies and suturing post partum.

The antenatal scans were not the typical 12 and 20 weeks scans, but could be as late as 38 weeks
