Public Health Internship Review

This internship was absolutely incredible. I felt like I was doing valuable work in the communities and schools and was able to truly see the conditions and issues in Livingstone. The accommodations were good, despite load shedding. The only thing that could be improved is the depth of the medical orientation.

A well organized organization. Very well looked after with excellent food and lovely staff. The project itself was really good, good hands on experience and was nice to be working with the community. However I felt we could have spent more time on project.
