Changes in the healthcare system worldwide and changing social systems, political values and economic constraints in general require countries to connect South African nurses with the rest of the world. A nursing internship in South Africa is highly needed and appreciated.The national health system provides services to 84% of the population through public public clinics and hospitals. It is chronically underfunded and understaffed. The private health system, which is much better equipped, provides health care through private doctors and private hospitals. This includes those sections of society that can pay for health insurance. South Africa currently faces a multiple burden, with an HIV/AIDS epidemic and a high TB burden at the same time as the highest case statistics in the world. High birth and infant mortality rates, high rates of violence and injury, and an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, cancer and now the coronavirus.A nursing internship allows you to experience many of these social and health issues while working within the Cape Town Health System. Most of the opportunities are in the NGO sector, where lack of funds usually dictates how many nurses they have on hand. You will be monitored by a professional.
