Medical Electives in Nepal - Kathmandu Reviews

"I assisted in multiple surgeries on this patient from the first debridement to the final graft placement."

"I had the opportunity to observe numerous rare and advanced disease presentations in the outpatient department"

"I have had an amazing placement in Nepal, which has given me a real insight into how healthcare is practised here. I will take many lessons away from this experience

"By lunchtime, I had observed three vaginal deliveries and one caesarean section. This was more than I had ever witnessed in one day in Australia on my O&G rotation."

"A memorable case during my time in Kathmandu was a patient admitted with severe electrical burns across his arms, back, and legs."

"The biggest difference was the lack of provisions. Even though the hospital is partly funded, all patients still had to buy all medications and provisions for the doctors to treat them".

"Having the opportunity to take my skills overseas and learn how things work in a healthcare system that is, in many ways, completely different from my own was too good to pass up."

"My supervisors were great, really friendly and engaging and all spoke excellent English and got me involved".

"This was a good opportunity to get some clinical practice with plastering and minor trauma management."

"The doctors and nurses are supremely knowledgeable and excellent teachers".
