Kampala is the capital of Uganda, where you will assist the local hospitals and clinics to treat ordinary Ugandans. In Uganda, people still die of curable diseases.
The staff at the medical centres are often overwhelmed by the number of patients that visit them daily, so your help is truly appreciated. Join this project to experience a country, culture and way of life that most tourists in Uganda don't get to see, making a genuine difference to the local medical practice.
