Would you like to undertake challenging clinical and research work as a

the most beautiful countries in Africa.



The post offers a unique opportunity to be one of a team of five faculty
members of the Department of Medicine. Your responsibilities will
include inpatient and outpatient clinical duties, teaching of
undergraduate and postgraduate students, and you will also have a
managerial role important in the department for its successful

The burden of disease is largely communicable diseases including malaria
and other acute infections, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS-related
conditions. Almost two thirds of our inpatients are HIV positive.
