CHIK Bui Sze   Hong Kong, China

Occupation: Medical student
Placement: General Surgery & Emergency
Dates: 11 May – 29 May 2026

Placement experience:
The General Surgery Department was great. The doctors are knowledgeable and give us hands-on opportunities safely.

The Emergency Department is quite unstructured, and the doctors and nurses seem to not be sure of what they are doing, and sometimes rely more on volunteers for knowledge, which is not the best.

Accommodation:
Great! I wish there could be more space for storage for volunteers, like shelves/tables, and also maybe a menu for dinner to choose from so the food would not always go to waste.

Highlight:
Nice people in Tanzania.

Advice for incoming volunteers:
This experience may be more suitable for students instead of people with licences and jobs/professionals.

Suggestions for improvement:
We wish there could be someone from Medi Trip to orientate us inside the hospital as well, e.g. where the bathrooms and changing rooms are, as well as be aware of which seasons are better for volunteer recruitment (e.g. no-students season), so that we can better know what to expect … and which time is best to apply for this experience.

The very bottom of the final sentence is cut off in the scan.

 

Jolien Snauwaert, Belgium

Occupation: Nursing student
Placement: Rotation
Dates: 9 March – 9 May 2026

Placement experience:
We had a lot of learning chances and saw a lot of things we would never see in Belgium. The only thing that I was not so happy about was the lack of supervision.

Accommodation:
The house mamas were very nice! The food was also very good, but we had to eat the same things every week for two months. The beds were a little hard and, at the end of our stay, we discovered mould behind our beds. At one point the house was also too crowded.

Highlights:
Definitely the Kilimanjaro tour, the safari and our trip to Zanzibar.

Advice for incoming volunteers:
ENJOY YOUR TIME HERE! ♥

Tours:
We did the Kilimanjaro tour and the 2-day safari. They were both amazing experiences!

Suggestions for improvement:
Maybe some more meal recipes could be added to the schedule and only allow 8 people in the hostel so everybody can eat at the table and not on the ground. This would also make it less crowded and more comfortable.

Thank you so much ♥

Scarlet Baker, United Kingdom

Occupation: Student
Placement: Pharmacy
Dates: From 1 June 2026   3 weeks

Placement experience:
I enjoyed my placement; however, I found it difficult to integrate and get involved in tasks due to the large number of local students. Due to Medi Trip’s flexibility, I was able to move to a community placement, which I enjoyed.

Accommodation:
The hostel was lovely and clean, the beds were comfortable and the house felt safe and welcoming. The mamas were lovely and always supported us, even doing our laundry, and were always kind.

Highlight:
The highlight was my community placement with WEHAF. I felt able to contribute in a meaningful way and also apply some of my academic knowledge.

Advice for incoming volunteers:
Go in with an open mind and take in everything, the good and the bad.

Ratings:
Social Impact: 5/5  I found my community placement to be impactful.
Safety & Support: 5/5  The coordinators helped with anything I needed.

Catalina Toledo Acosta, Chile

Occupation: Medical Student
Placement: Internal Medicine/ICU & Neonatology, 

 Dates: 3 May – 27 June 2026

Placement experience:
I had an amazing experience. My first month in Internal Medicine + ICU was great and I learned so much, especially on how to do procedures and assist in complicated medical interventions. They’re very open to interns/students trying new things.

My second month in Neonatology was more tough, the lack of resources is more noticeable,  but it was still an amazing experience full of learning. The medical professionals at the hospital have a lot of knowledge and very good ideas on how to better local health.

Accommodation:
AMAZING! The mamas are so nice and accommodating to everyone. They really made me feel at home and taken care of. The house was always clean and we had everything we needed. The food was always SO GOOD and I enjoyed it very much.

Highlight:
Definitely the people I got to meet! From my roommates to everyone from Medi Trip and also everyone at the hospital, everybody was so nice and so willing to help or to just hang out, and it was incredible.

Advice for incoming volunteers:
Be open-minded about what you’ll experience and keep a positive mindset.

Ratings:
Social Impact: 4/5  Both helpful for the volunteer and the hospital.

Placement experience:
It was particularly interesting to see how the work is done elsewhere. It’s the same as what one would think, but that it can continue so lovingly for eight hours. I had good experiences most of the time.

Accommodation:
It’s like a big family. Thanks to this I wasn’t as homesick. Everyone is so kind and considerate.

Highlight:
The orphanage, even though it still hurts my heart.

Marie Liis Randlane, Estonia

Occupation: Midwife
Dates: 14 March – 8 April 2026

Placement experience:
I was at Kaloleni mainly working as a midwife in postpartum care and I really felt useful there. As the delivery room was, in the beginning of my placement, full of volunteers, I blended into the team well and really felt like part of the team.

At the end of my placement there were not many women at the ward and I observed many babies.

Accommodation:
The Siret Hostel is cosy. I really enjoyed my stay here. The food was also really tasty and well-made.

This is a personal preference, but dinner for me was always too early because you will feel hungry later in the evening possibly again. :)

Highlight:
I truly feel like this whole experience is a highlight of my life, but I have to point out the safari trip with Emmanuel and my placement were the best things!

Advice for incoming volunteers:
Best decision of your life.

Paramedic, 29 · Canada
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · May 2026 · 3 weeks

“Exactly the kind of experience I came for.

Emergency was exactly what you would expect : unpredictable. One morning could be fairly quiet and the next you would suddenly have several patients arriving together. As a paramedic, I found the trauma cases particularly interesting and spent a lot of time comparing pre-hospital care in Canada with what happens locally in Tanzania.You do need to be adaptable because things don’t always happen on schedule, but that became part of what I liked about the experience. The Medi Trip team gave me enough independence while still checking that everything was going well.

I stayed for three weeks and honestly wished I had booked four. I also did the Ngorongoro safari on my final weekend which was an excellent way to finish the trip.

Registered Nurse

Emergency Department

★★★★☆ 4.8/5 · February 2026 · 4 weeks

I’ve worked as an RN for eleven years, including six years in Emergency, so I wasn’t looking for a basic shadowing experience. I wanted to see how emergency nursing operates when staffing and resources are very different from what I’m used to.This placement delivered that. I particularly enjoyed working alongside Tanzanian nurses and talking through how we approach the same presentations differently.There were busy days, quiet days, confronting cases and some incredibly funny conversations with staff. The commute took a little getting used to during the first few days, but once I understood the local transport system it was easy.

Go into it willing to observe and learn rather than thinking you are there tofix anything. That mindset made the experience much more valuable.

 

Olivia Stewart

Pre-Med Student

Emergency Department

19 · USA
★★★★★ 5/5 · July 2026 · 2 weeks

I was nervous because I’m only 19 and had never travelled to Africa before. I did two weeks in Emergency and it confirmed that healthcare is 100% what I want to do.Obviously I wasn’t doing procedures independently, but I got to observe doctors, follow patients through the department, learn about common emergencies and ask SO MANY questions. One doctor in particular was amazing at explaining cases to me.

The volunteer house ended up being a huge part of the experience because I made friends almost immediately.

I booked the three-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari afterwards and that was honestly the perfect ending.

 

Maria & Laurine

Nursing Students

Emergency Department

21 & 22 · Netherlands
★★★★☆ 4.7/5 · March–April 2026 · 5 weeks

We travelled together from university and completed five weeks in Emergency. It was sometimes challenging because the hospital systems are very different from home, but this was exactly why we wanted an international internship. We saw trauma, medical emergencies, paediatric cases and conditions that we rarely encounter in the Netherlands.

We became much more independent in communicating with staff and learning when to step forward and when to simply observe. Outside hospital we loved living with students from different countries. Dinner at the house was occasionally later than our very Dutch schedule would have preferred 😂 but after a week we stopped caring.

Come with an open mind and don’t expect everything to run according to a European timetable.

★★★★★ 4.9/5 · January 2026 · 2 weeks

I joined Medi Trip primarily out of professional curiosity.

The most interesting aspect was seeing how clinicians make decisions when diagnostic investigations I consider routine are delayed or unavailable. There is excellent clinical judgement amongst many of the doctors. My placement was relatively short at two weeks but professionally worthwhile and quite humbling. Medi Trip handled my accommodation, airport transfer and hospital introduction efficiently and then allowed me the independence I preferred as an experienced doctor. That balance suited me very well.

Emergency Department · Medical Students · Italy
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · July 2026 · 4 weeks

We came as four medical students after our third year of medical school. It was our first clinical experience outside Italy.

We divided our time between observing Emergency and discussing cases together afterwards. The biggest difference was seeing advanced disease presenting much later than we normally see at home and how heavily doctors rely on clinical examination and judgement.Medi Trip arranged for us to stay together, which made travelling as a group much easier.

We also booked the three-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari. Long drives, absolutely worth it. Seeing Ngorongoro for the first time was probably one of the best moments of the whole trip.

 

Rachel Bennett

Emergency Department · Nursing Student, 47 · UK
★★★★★ 5/5 · May 2026 · 3 weeks

I came to nursing later in life and was probably one of the oldest students in the volunteer house, which I worried about before travelling.

I needn’t have. Nobody cared about my age and I somehow became the unofficial mum of the house!Clinically, Emergency was fascinating. I particularly valued observing communication with families and seeing how nurses manage enormous workloads calmly.

There were aspects of the healthcare system that were difficult to witness, especially where finances affected access to treatment, but I think it is important not to sanitise global-health experiences.

My room was fairly simple, but clean and comfortable, and I spent very little time in it anyway. I left Tanzania grateful, challenged and very glad I came.

 

Aoife O’Connor

Labour & Delivery · Student Midwife, 22 · Ireland
★★★★★ 5/5 · June 2026 · 4 weeks

I completed four weeks in Labour & Delivery during my midwifery training.

I observed normal births, inductions, emergency situations and postnatal care. The Tanzanian midwives were incredibly experienced and could often identify problems clinically long before any monitor was involved.

Some days were emotionally difficult because maternity-care resources are different from Ireland, but the experience made me more appreciative of how important strong basic midwifery skills are.

I also loved Arusha much more than I expected. Four weeks went frighteningly quickly and I would absolutely return.

 

Emily Carter

Labour & Delivery · Registered Midwife, 31 · Australia
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · March 2026 · 3 weeks

As an experienced midwife, I was worried the placement might feel too observational. It didn’t.

I was treated as a professional while still respecting that I was a visitor working within another healthcare system. I spent time in labour ward, antenatal assessment and postnatal care and had excellent conversations with local midwives about postpartum haemorrhage, breastfeeding and maternal health.

I particularly appreciated Medi Trip emphasising working within your competence rather than promising unrealistichands-on experiences.

I squeezed in a Tarangire day safari as well. If you only have one free weekend, do it.

 

Elsa Lindberg & Maja Svensson

Labour & Delivery · Midwifery Students, 24 · Sweden
★★★★★ 4.8/5 · April–May 2026 · 6 weeks

We travelled together for six weeks and both agreed this was one of the most important experiences of our training.

Birth is universal but the environment around it can be completely different. We learned a lot from watching experienced Tanzanian midwives work with limited equipment and large numbers of women.

There were difficult moments but also many joyful ones.

Living with other healthcare students made the experience very social. The house could get noisy when it was full, not enough seats at dinner time but we actually missed that when we went home.

 

Freja Nielsen

Neonatal · Paediatric Nursing Student, 21 · Denmark
★★★★★ 5/5 · February 2026 · 3 weeks

I spent three weeks in neonatal care and loved it.

I was especially interested in premature babies and feeding support. The unit could become extremely busy and the nurse-to-patient ratio was completely different from what I am used to.

I observed kangaroo mother care, neonatal assessments, jaundice management and support for low-birth-weight babies.

The experience made me seriously consider specialising in neonatal nursing after graduation.

 

Megan Collins

Neonatal · NICU Nurse, 38 · USA
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · May 2026 · 2 weeks

I’ve worked in NICU for almost fifteen years.

Coming to Tanzania was not about teaching peoplehow we do it in America; it was about understanding neonatal care in another context. That distinction matters.

I was incredibly impressed by what nurses achieve with comparatively limited technology. Infection prevention, thermoregulation, breastfeeding and family education become even more important when you don’t have endless equipment.

Professionally, this was one of the most interesting trips I’ve taken.

The only thing I would change is that I wish I’d stayed longer.

 

Camille Laurent

OBGYN · Medical Student, 25 · France
★★★★☆ 4.8/5 · January 2026 · 3 weeks

My main interest is obstetrics and gynaecology so I requested this department specifically.

During three weeks I observed outpatient gynaecology, antenatal clinics, ward rounds and theatre cases. I saw conditions at stages that would be unusual in France, which was academically very interesting but sometimes sad.

The doctors were approachable and happy to discuss cases when they had time. They are working clinicians though, not full-time teachers, so you sometimes need to choose the right moment to ask questions.

I recommend reading about common maternal-health issues in East Africa before arriving because you will understand much more.

 

Lucía Martínez

OBGYN · Junior Doctor, 28 · Spain
★★★★☆ 4.7/5 · April 2026 · 4 weeks

A very valuable clinical elective.

I rotated through obstetrics and gynaecology and particularly enjoyed ward rounds and theatre. The pathology was broad and I encountered several cases I had previously only read about.

Communication could occasionally be difficult because the hospital is busy and understandably teaching foreign visitors is not the staff’s first priority, so you need initiative.

If you are proactive, respectful and clinically interested, there is a lot to learn.

I also booked a weekend safari through Siret. Ngorongoro was spectacular, although I underestimated how cold the crater morning would be!

 

Amélie De Smet

Psychology & Mental Health · Psychology Graduate, 24 · Belgium
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · March 2026 · 4 weeks

I wanted to understand how mental health is approached culturally outside Europe.

The biggest learning experience was seeing how family, religion, stigma and community attitudes influence treatment.

I had some really thoughtful discussions with staff about schizophrenia, substance misuse and depression. This placement made me realise how culturally specific some of our assumptions about mental healthcare are.

Arusha itself was hectic at first, but within a few days I felt surprisingly at home.

 

Helen Crawford

Psychiatry · Mental Health Nurse, 45 · UK
★★★★★ 5/5 · June 2026 · 3 weeks

I have worked in mental health for over twenty years, and Tanzania challenged many of my assumptions.

Resources are obviously different, but so are family involvement, pathways into care and public understanding of psychiatric illness.

I found conversations with Tanzanian professionals far more valuable than simply observing patients.

For experienced professionals I would recommend approaching the placement as an exchange of perspectives rather than expecting a traditional volunteer role.

 

Sanne de Vries & Noor Jansen

Physiotherapy Students, 22 & 23 · Netherlands
★★★★★ 4.8/5 · February–March 2026 · 5 weeks

We came together for our physiotherapy internship and treated it as both a clinical and cultural learning experience.

We observed musculoskeletal rehabilitation, neurological patients, paediatric cases and post-operative rehabilitation.

Some equipment we normally use simply wasn’t available, so therapists relied heavily on creativity and manual techniques. That was probably our biggest learning point.

We loved Arusha enough that we extended our accommodation for several days after the placement. We used the extra time for a safari and a very lazy recovery day afterwards!

 

Anna Wilson

Qualified Physiotherapist, 32 · New Zealand
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · July 2026 · 3 weeks

I worked mainly alongside local physiotherapists and found neurological rehabilitation particularly interesting.Seeing stroke and traumatic-injury patients managed in a lower-resource environment forced me to reconsider what is genuinely essential in rehabilitation.

The local therapists were resourceful and extremely practical. My advice would be to bring curiosity rather than unrealistic expectations.

 

Lucía García, Marta Navarro, Elena Ruiz, Pablo Martín & Javier Ortega

Dental Students, 23–25 · Spain
★★★★★ 5/5 · July 2026 · 3 weeks

We travelled as five dental students and had such a good experience.

We spent time in the dental clinic observing extractions, restorative work, oral-health education and common dental disease. The prevalence and severity of untreated decay was very different from what we normally see at university.

Our favourite clinical part was participating in community dental outreach, where we helped with oral-health education and screening under supervision.

Travelling as a group also made the safari afterwards hilarious. The Serengeti involved a lot of driving, dust and very early mornings : and we would all do it again tomorrow.

 

Julien Moreau

Dentist, 36 · France
★★★★☆ 4.8/5 · May 2026 · 2 weeks

Professionally very interesting.I saw a large volume of pathology, particularly advanced caries and patients presenting with pain after delaying treatment.Dentistry is practised very differently when cost and access dictate what treatment is realistically available. I appreciated being able to discuss treatment planning with local clinicians rather than simply observing silently.

It was a short placement but very worthwhile.

 

Léa Müller

Surgery · Final-Year Medical Student, 26 · Switzerland
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · April–May 2026 · 4 weeks

I chose surgery because I wanted exposure to operative medicine in a resource-limited hospital.

I attended ward rounds, observed theatre lists and followed patients from assessment through surgery and recovery. What struck me most was the importance of clinical examination and careful decision-making when access to imaging and laboratory tests can be restricted. Some days required patience because theatre schedules changed at short notice. That is probably my only real warning: don’t arrive expecting a perfectly fixed timetable.

When cases were running, however, the learning opportunities were excellent. This was probably the most memorable elective of medical school.

 

Sophie Tremblay

Nutrition · Dietetics Student, 22 · Canada
★★★★★ 4.9/5 · June–July 2026 · 4 weeks

I originally expected my nutrition placement to be mostly hospital based, but I actually enjoyed the community side even more.I learned about nutrition counselling using foods that are realistically affordable and available locally rather than applying Canadian meal plans to Tanzania.We discussed maternal nutrition, diabetes, hypertension, childhood nutrition and malnutrition. It was also interesting seeing how culture and household finances affect dietary advice.The community days sometimes changed at short notice, which initially frustrated me, but I eventually realised flexibility is part of working in this setting.

This placement completely changed how I think about giving realistic  nutrition recommendations.
