OK. The computer is stuffing up. I'll try when I get to Barcelona.

Mel - my elective and other adventures
First year Australian medical student on a trip around the world. First stop - Mbgathi District Hospital, Nairobi. A hospital servicing the largest slum in Africa, Kibera. Coming from a world where I have everything to a world where they struggle to get the basics.

Mel - my elective and other adventures
First year Australian medical student on a trip around the world. First stop - Mbgathi District Hospital, Nairobi. A hospital servicing the largest slum in Africa, Kibera. Coming from a world where I have everything to a world where they struggle to get the basics.
About Me
- Name: Melanie
- Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Studying hard at the moment to be a Doctor. Spending 4 weeks in Africa so I can really appreciate how lucky we all have it over here. Trying to set up a program where in the coming years, medical students from my univeristy will visit Mbagathi District Hospital and bring with them supplies and pharmaceuticals like I am doing. But more importantly, trying to get people to understand another culture, another way of practicing medicine and to see the effects of diseases that usually have no impact on our life. Diseases that can be cured with antibiotics, or slowed down with drugs that are readily available in every western country.
