AFRICA HEALTH PLACEMENTS
Health in Sandton

AHP offers doctors endorsed global health experiences benefitting the region’s most vulnerable people. We envision a world in which the skills of doctors are available to those who need them most. That’s why we’re on a mission to place and support doctors who want to serve in resource-poor environments while simultaneously growing personally and professionally. Having placed thousands of doctors since 2005, AHP has the experience and insight to take you confidently through the process, from start to finish. As soon as we know you are considering participating in a global health experience, one of our dedicated Recruitment Officers will be assigned to you to help make your journey as simple as possible. AHP will confirm your eligibility to participate based on the practice requirements of various African countries and the suitability of your profile for available placements. This will include assessing: the requirements of your destination country; your qualifications, skills and experience; your financial needs; and your availability for the length of placement. Once we understand exactly what you’re looking for, we can help you select the experience that will best suit your career ambitions and your budget. AHP will consider your unique skills and requirements and seek to match these to the most suitable available placement. This will include ascertaining your clinical and lifestyle preferences, and then discussing potential matches to health facilities with which AHP has working partnerships. AHP will source matching vacancies and discuss the value proposition with you. We will facilitate an introduction and interview with your chosen facility/ies. Should you be successful in your application to a facility, you will receive a letter of intention to be employed. Each country has a licensing board with unique requirements. AHP will provide visa guidance to enable you to apply for the relevant visa to work in your destination country. AHP will facilitate the finalisation of your employment contract and start arrangements for your arrival. We will also provide you with orientation to your new environment. This includes logistical, cultural and clinical guidance before you get here, as well as support and assistance once you arrive.
