Clinical Exposure:
- HIV and TB +++, it is the district level hospital so you see basics. And refer on to the specialist as needed.
Departments worked in:
- Emergency Department - "As comseve you can do Cas/OPD, Wards, Maternity( NVDs, C/S , Running labour ward and clinic) or Theatre ( basic anaesthesia for the C/S and local list like circums and abscesses - you have a clinic on a Tuesday and then do the list on a Tuesday and Thursday)
