Many patients presented late, so I saw fairly advanced and destructive tumours

There was one paediatrics ward which was split in two - contagious (diarrhoea) and non-contagious, which was mostly malaria and pneumonia. There were often two children (and two mums) to a bed.

It was an incredible experience both as an elective placement and as a life experience

Busy would be an understatement. Babies were being delivered every 5 to 10 minutes at peak

Regardless of what stage you're at in your studies, whether first year or final year, don't hesitate to arrange a placement abroad. You'll apply what you know already and learn a lot more in the process.
