**CMSA Accreditations:** None

**Academics:**

- 
  - Non existant  
None. Questionable advice usually given from referral hospital.

**Supervision:**

- None in hospital and very poor support from referral centres
- No supervision. No senior doctors, no consultant input at all. Referral centre very hesitant to accept patients.

**Clinical Exposure:**

- Lack of investigations (no functional xrays, no blood gas machine, blood results taking at least 16 hours to come out) often results in under investigation.

**Departments worked in:**

- Emergency Department, OPD’s
- Emergency Department, OPD’s - You work everywhere (male ward/ female ward/ TB ward/ paeds ward/ maternity ward)

**Social Scene:**

- Very small town with no bars or anything to do at all. Hospital severely understaffed with very poor relationships between staff

**Additional Comments:**

- If I had to repeat commserv and be placed there again I would rather decline the post as the only thing you learn is how to continue living despite being isolated and working at a very poorly functioning hospital and district.
