Opportunities for medical professionals and medical elective students in Cameroon, West Africa are available at St Elizabeth General Hospital, Shisong from summer 2010 and at Bafut Medical Centre. Three month minimum placements preferred. Cost: Three months approximately £2500. Please note: Placements not available at present due to building work.
St Elizabeth Hospital, Shisong and Bafut Medical Centre are under the supervision of Franciscan Sisters who welcome people of all denominations and faiths. Shisong and Bafut are both in the remote North West Province.
The nearest large town is Bamenda, two hours drive away. Travel from Douala airport is by hospital truck and can take all day. Once you are there, however, they can provide good safe accommodation with electricity, water, bathroom with shower, kitchen and living room in staff houses about five minutes walk from the Shisong Hospital or on site at Bafut.
For those who do not want to cater for themselves the hospital has a canteen that provides good cheap food. Most of the current expatriate staff eat there at least once a day. Water comes from springs but many visitors will still boil it or buy easily available bottled water. Satellite TV is available.
Cost: The toal cost includes air fares, visa, insurance, accommodation, subsistence and the Christians Abroad administration fee.
