Our Story
Elective Africa student’s placements began in 2001, in Mombasa Kenya with a visiting doctor on holiday, interested in his medical student’s getting an elective experience in a developing country. Through this, we got to place our first medical students at Coast Provincial General Hospital. This ended up becoming our first base of elective placements. We have since then placed a large number of students all across our other placement centers for them to undertake their healthcare internships.
Through this they get the opportunity to engage in activities such as working with caregivers in children's homes, teaching and education projects including immersion into the vibrant African culture.
With the experience accumulated over the last 16 years offered to over 5000 students internships abroad, our mission has been set to provide unique customized and tailor-made medical electives and healthcare internships abroad.
Overall our healthcare programs are hustle free placements in a developing country. Medical studies are guaranteed the opportunity to build their skills, gain an understanding to global health and shadow physicians in their clinical work abroad.
