Choose

Flight

You are responsible for purchasing your airline ticket to and from your chosen destination.

Arrive at your destination on the Sunday corresponding to your chosen placement start date, anytime between 00-18 (12 AM - 6 PM). Schedule your return flight for the Saturday of your last week, at your preferred time.

We'll be at the airport to welcome you upon arrival and will arrange transportation from the Try Medics house to the airport on departure, ensuring you reach the airport 2.5 hours before your outbound flight.

For stays in Uganda, fly to Entebbe International Airport. For stays in Zanzibar, fly to Zanzibar Airport (Abeid Amani Karume International Airport).

Travel Insurance

Before your departure, it is essential that you arrange a suitable travel insurance that covers the duration of your stay.

The most important aspect of travel insurance is to be covered in case of serious illness and/or injury where emergency treatment and/or relocation to better facilities are required. It can cost a lot of money, and if you do not have travel insurance, you may not receive the treatment you need.

Travel Vaccinations

It is advisable to consult with your doctor before departure.

The recommended vaccinations and preventive medications for your trip may vary based on your individual circumstances and medical history. What is suitable for one traveler might differ for another.

Given this variability, it is crucial to discuss your upcoming internship at a hospital with your doctor. We suggest consulting with your doctor at least two months before your start date to allow sufficient time for vaccinations to take effect.

If you have previously traveled to a tropical area, you may already have some of the recommended vaccinations for the placment.

Commonly recommended vaccinations to former participants on our program include Diphtheria-tetanus, Hepatitis A & B, Yellow fever, and taking malaria prophylaxis pills during the placement. Additionally, vaccination against Meningitis is often recommended for stays in Uganda.

Visa

Zanzibar and Uganda's laws require you to have an entry visa to stay and intern at a hospital in the country. The visa fee is USD 50.

As part of the preparation for your placement, we will ensure to send you a step-by-step guide along with the necessary documents for applying for a visa online. The procedure is straightforward, and usually, visas are approved within 14 days after applying.

Pocket Money

You will need pocket money during your stay, especially if you want to shop or participate in extra activities beyond those included in the placement.

Please note that in both destinations, there is limited opportunity to pay with cards at souvenir markets and local shops. Most transactions are done in cash in the local currency. It's easiest to use ATMs at the destination to get pocket money in cash. We recommend informing your bank about your travel to ensure that your card can be used at the destination.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend budgeting USD 100 - 150 per week as pocket money during your placement. It's important to note that this is just an estimate, and your actual pocket money spending depends on your personal choices during the trip.

Workwear for your internship

If you lack the necessary workwear for the hospital internship, you have the option to rent it through us when applying.

Our hospital workwear package ensures that you are appropriately attired for the internship. The package costs 60 USD and includes 2 white coats, 2 sets of blue scrubs, and weekly dry cleaning of the clothes throughout the program.

The workwear will be provided after your arrival at your chosen destination, eliminating the need to allocate space for it in your suitcase.

When renting workwear, it is essential to return all items to Try Medics' Program Manager after completing your placement.

Regarding footwear at the hospital, the only requirement is that shoes are closed. Running shoes, sneakers, or other closed shoes are acceptable.
