During your midwifery internship in Dar es Salaam, you'll have the chance to work in both the tertiary referral hospital and the local regional hospital. You’ll quickly learn that Tanzanian midwives differ dramatically to those in the UK, as do cultural traditions surrounding birthing. We tailor all of our placements to the interests of each individual; should you choose to specialize in neonatal intensive care or work with HIV-positive mothers. Outside of the hospital grounds head on a safari to spot Africa’s famous wildlife. Read what our students think below!
