Raising a hospital from a place of disease and desperation to a functional facility where people can find treatment and health is without exception dependent on a good team. All too often, AHP has walked into facilities where one solitary doctor is struggling valiantly, without support, to deal with a crowded outpatients' ward, day after day. In a scenario like this a new staff member can have a massive impact and change the picture to a vibrant hub of meaningful healing work
You can have an impact on the lives of thousands of people. As a rural practitioner, you will see many people, every day, with a large variety of medical issues. You may be called upon to deliver dramatic procedures with less than ideal equipment and/or no previous experience. You will probably be spread quite thin. But all that this means is that you will also learn more, experience more, do more and help more people – every day – than you ever dreamed possible.
