Unlike the past couple of days, today was more focused on observing and understanding the Tanzanian health care system. I was really excited about this for obvious reasons. The main one is that I would like to pursue some type of health career especially within the public health sector. Needless to say, today we visited a district hospital in the outskirts of a town called Iringa. It’s a hospital clinic in partnership with Doctors with Africa that was founded by this AMAZING talented Italian doctor. The main objective of this hospital is to provide prenatal and postnatal care. The second big thing it deals with is aiding kids with severe malnutrition. This hospital was so inspiring because it honestly was a great way to see the various problems people here have. The one thing that made me really sad was the fact that a lot of these pregnant women were really young–20 to 21 year olds. It made me so sad because my only were most my age, but I also felt so helpless. Even  writing  about it brings me to tears since I’m reflecting on my life and education. Today was just another reminder that I need to help out and give back to this continent because it is such a huge makeup of who I am.
