Qualifications

One with medical background or interested with community work in east africa as well motivated to learn about the tropical diseases in africa as well. We also take volunteers who want to join in medical school but are not sure on what exactly they want to specialize in, so we have rotational programmes while volunteering at the hospital.

The hospital has other small centres around, and at times volunteers will be visiting them. So we need people interested in public health as well as counselors. This opportunity is year through one can jion in at any time they wish.

We also have an agreement with the hospital and it does take interns, where by avoplunteer is attached to adoctor then they work together all day long, this is very interesting for volunteers who need more grades from their schools, and at the end we give them certificates showing that they were interns in st joseph hospital. So any one with interest to help in and give extra hands on is welcomed to St. Joseph Hospital.
