Nakamatte Hajjarah
Hajjarah is an ambitious Ugandan girl passionate about medicine. She believes there is not enough medical infrastructure in Uganda to offset the demand for proper health. Hence, she envisions building her own hospital and other medical centers, if possible, after pursuing her Ph.D. studies and acquiring experience from a hospital she will be employed in. Her passion for the medical sector feeds into her compassion for those lacking proper health care. Currently, she is taking nursing courses for one year and a half before attending her undergrad school later on.
Although Hajjarah is an introverted person, she enjoys talking to people with whom she has trust. Hajjarah is also interested in humanitarian activities. Hence, she looks forward to once working or being interned in an orphanage.
What areas the mentee is looking for support in?
Hajjarah considers two areas to get support in. She believes that being empowered with entrepreneurial skills and communication skills will be an asset for her ambition to embrace a medical career. She also considers crucial the support in getting internships since these will help her experiment with the practical side of medicine.
