Why take an elective at a Mission Hospital?

About Mission Africa Elective Placements

Each of the hospitals have a limited capacity to the number of placements they can take at any one time, usually between 2 – 4 people. So if you’re wanting to go with us you normally need to have applied 12 months before you’d like to go, especially if you want to go in July and August.

We are flexible with making the arrangements for electives, you can book your own flights or we can do this for you. We will organise your visa, provide travel insurance and you will have to come for a day of orientation. We will liaise with the hospital and make sure all the arrangements are made for your transport & accommodation.

We would prefer if all participants in our electives programme were active evangelical Christians, but if you are a Christian and you want to bring a friend who isn’t then we can be flexible, please contact us for more guidance on this.

Applying

If you want to apply for an elective with Mission Africa, email us requesting an application pack.
