2. We need useful medical books in English, French, and Italian (there is a library for consultation (DOC) which need to be enriched and up dated.)
3. We advice you to bring with you the dustcoat and the theatre shoes which if possible can be left for the hospital. Besides, there are useful analgesic drugs, anti-fungal oral drugs and disposable gloves, which you can bring.
4. To avoid confusion in the organization of your experience we give some useful information either for you or for us. Generally we need the presence of ANAESTHESIS, INTERNIST, CARDIOLOGIST, RADIOLOGIST, GYNAECOLOGIST, & SURGEON. (The Surgeon has to be able to do gynecological surgery like the: caesarian section, isterectomy and extra uterine pregnancy.) Besides, who ever is able to use Ultra Sound Machine is welcome.
5. Here is a complete list of drugs and material which are useful and very difficult to find locally (in Italian).
6. We remind you that most of our patients are HIV positive. The doctors have to know the risks on their job.

All volunteers who wish to come for experience in Karungu, have to contact the responsible persons, and communicating the dates. It is very important to organize the travel from Nairobi to Karungu and vice versa.

We kindly ask you to follow the dates above to avoid complications in the travel from Nairobi to Karungu.
If someone desires to extend the duration of stay, information should be relied in advance.

For the volunteers who are arriving very early in the morning, the previous agreement with us cannot work. So alternatively, you can reach the seminary by taxi from the airport. Therefore, before going out of the arrival zone at the luggage counter, look at the right side there is a taxi desk where you can take your taxi and pay at their office. These taxis are official and safe to travel in. Please show the map to the seminary to the taxi driver for better collaboration. The price is fixed but will be roughly 1,600 kenya shillings.

Thank you very much for your availability; bye bye and see you in Karungu.
