Visiting Ifakara September 2024 this year our visit took place from September 7th to October 4th, 2024. Christine Schennach and Fritz Wallner made the trip with Anna Außerlechner and Sarah Goreis, two students of the FH Bachelor's degree program in health and nursing at the FH Gesundheit - Zentrum für Gesundheitsberufe Tirol GmbH. The two completed an internship abroad as part of their studies. After a personal introduction to the Director of Nursing, Ms. Edna Ngapemba, our assignment this year began in internal medicine. We spent the first week there and then moved to the men's ward of the surgery. After the morning round we were making beds and various cleaning tasks, we took part in the rounds, prepared instruments and dressing material for sterilization, changed dressings and took patients from the operating room for further care. Anna and Sara quickly made contact with the hospital staff and were able to watch a caesarean section and an operation in the operating room. They mastered their internship very well and gained many new impressions. Christine took care of necessary repairs and maintenance, procured urgently needed goods such as gloves, bandages and new mattresses in consultation with the hospital management, got the workshop up and running, maintained many contacts and was in active contact with the hospital management.
