Abstract
I had always been keen to pursue overseas work, but had already taken time out of
programme and knew it would be difficult to commit to any lengthy period of time,
something which many organisations required. I began contacting organisations
enquiring as to how I could become involved and this led to my first experience of
anaesthesia in East Africa, a clinical placement in Hoima, Uganda. While making
enquiries and arrangements I learnt that there were a number of activities at my
university and this led to my ongoing involvement in developing critical care services and a multiway partnership with Bahir dar, Ethiopia.
