Volunteering abroad on a Medicine & Healthcare internship in Kenya is an excellent way to gain experience combined with the chance to help people in some of the poorest medical institutions in the developing world.

Projects Abroad works with both small health clinics and large government hospitals in Kenya, allowing interns the unique opportunity to assist in a variety of different departments and to work closely alongside local doctors and nurses. You do not have to have any previous medical experience to do a medicine internship in Kenya.

Medicine interns in Kenya work with a variety of medical institutions in and around the town of Nanyuki, which is 200km north-east of Nairobi. In both the smaller health clinics and the larger hospitals interns will find themselves working with patients who have a wide range of illnesses. There are many different departments in most of the hospitals we work with including maternity, general medicine, surgery, pediatrics, palliative care, working with HIV patients, and in laboratory work. Interns can choose whether they want to work in a variety of different departments or whether they want to focus on one in particular.
