In early 2019, Kate spent some time volunteering in Uganda at a government clinic and was amazed at how much can be done, and how many people can be serviced with such little resources. The clinic had no running water, no alcohol gel, no antiseptic, no gloves, no dressings and no electricity yet was able to serve people coming from far and wide. Volunteers vaccinate hundreds of children, witness up to 5 births per day, assist in the antenatal clinic and family planning, diagnose and treat tuberculosis and HIV plus participate in public health initiatives administering vitamin A and worming tablets.
Kate has now discovered the world of travel medicine and is combining her love of travel with her career in nursing and plans to study further in the near future.
