Maja O. Nielsen, Denmark – Mawenzi Regional Hospital

"Working at Mawenzi has been a big challenges but also a great experience. You learn about the many cultural differences, and as a nursing student you have to accept the situation of poverty and try to find the best ways to work around it. The facilities are bad and there is always a lack of gaze and gloves. If you want to work at Mawenzi you have to have a bit of hard skin since you’ll see a lot of sick and dying people with a very bad looking future – but you’ll also be able to help some of these patients which is worth the whole journey."
