Nursing in Yogyakarta hospital
Donation protected
Hello my lovelies!
In may 2020 I will be going to Indonesia to work in a hospital in a very rural town called Yogyakarta. I am going as part of my training to help with the very understaffed healthcare out there, as well as experiencing different cultural attitudes towards care, see how religious beliefs affect practise, to see how patients who can’t afford even the most basic treatment are effected in day to day life, and to treat conditions which I may never get chance to see in this country.
In the UK, we have around 100 nurses to treat every 10,000 patients who enter through our hospitals. For every 10,000 patients who enter hospitals in Indonesia, there are only 11 nurses who are there to provide treatment.
The trip is costing me around £3000, money that is extremely hard to earn when you're already working 37.5 hours a week for free already!! Any money would be much appreciated and will help me so much in getting out there and helping treat people who are just as deserving of treatment as we are here in the UK!
Lots of love xxxx
