Hannah Graham Memorial Scholar, 2022
My time at CHUK (The University Teaching Hospital of Kigali) as a visiting medical student was truly eye-opening. Culturally, Rwanda is an incredibly warm, welcoming society and I was immediately incorporated into the group of Rwandan medical students.
OUR MISSION
The University of Virginia's Center for Global Health Equity promotes health in resource-limited settings
by fostering the commitment of students, faculty and partners from many disciplines to support health for all.
We toured a number of coffee farms in Nicaragua as well as the coffee drying and roasting site for a co-operative of families living in the area. In addition to working at the site or being able to sell their farms' coffee beans to the co-operative, members are granted certain social privileges as part of their involvement in exchange for their participation in sustainable practices. Among these benefits is access to screenings and preventive care for cervical cancer and other diseases by medical brigades.
