Mohsin’s Story
Elective Aid completely changed my outlook on the two very different worlds we live in. Almost all of the patients we saw had never seen a doctor before, so to see their expressions when we arrived at the camps made me realise how much they appreciated us but also how much work there needs to be done. We were well supervised and supported at all times – I learnt so much about myself and medicine in such a short period of time.
Katy’s Story
This was my first time in Bangladesh and I hope it won’t be my last. Whatever fears I had about not having much clinical experience or knowing the local language quickly disappeared. Our group grew into a family, helping one another and having fun along the way. We were able to make a difference whether it was visiting mothers’ clubs or in the fistula clinics, and more importantly as global health ambassadors on returning home.
