Alumni Profile: Ahmed Seedat and the Importance of Building Relationships


Former KSLP Clinical Lead and Ebola Volunteer, Ahmed Seedat

I initially volunteered with KSLP as clinical lead from September 2013 to March 2014, having spent the previous six months volunteering with VSO (Volunteer Services Overseas) in Sierra Leone.

In those early days it was just Oliver and me, shortly joined by Suzanne, so our roles were a little more fluid and we had a bit more space in the office!

My role mainly involved supporting the Connaught Hospital Improvement Committee, particularly in strengthening the Accident & Emergency Department, supporting colleagues at COMAHS in delivering teaching and training for undergraduate medical students as well as working on postgraduate training with a focus on strengthening the internship programme.

I returned to Freetown in August – September for the Ebola outbreak.

Back in the UK I'm a Respiratory Registrar trainee based in South London but left for an OOPE (out of programme experience) in November 2015 – I managed to stay in the UK for just over a year! 

Currently I'm in Yida, Unity State, South Sudan working as a medical doctor for MSF. In Yida, MSF are providing medical care for the refugee population affected by conflict in South Sudan and the disputed South Kordofan region.


Although the context is very different requiring a different approach and perspective I find that as with KSLP, relationships between national and international staff, the wider community and other key stakeholders are extremely important. This can be less than straightforward in an unstable region or area affected by conflict. Nevertheless, building relationships particularly with colleagues and the local community lays the foundations for trust, mutual learning and knowledge exchange which is not only helpful for us as individuals but hopefully translates into wider health gains for the local population.

  3. Dr. Sandy has really made me so much believe in him by getting me cured of Herpes  with his herbal treatment. I have been a Herpes virus patient for some time now, I have been running here and there looking for help/cure but none could help. I ran into a testimony by someone who testified how she was cured of a terrible disease by Dr. Sandy  so I decided to contact the herbal doctor. I explained to him, and he said he can cure me. We started the process and he prepared herbs and sent them to me in my country and gave me directions on how I am to use them. I followed his directions and now To God be the glory he could cure me with his herbal mixture. I really appreciate you Dr. Sandy for bringing back happiness to my life again. thanks you so much friends that has join me to thank Dr. Sandy for what he has actually done for me i pray to you all for a good life and property, his contact i

  4. MY HERPES CURE WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. Take your time to read my article on how I got over the herpes virus so easily, I'm from New York city, USA. I usually see my outbreak 3-4 weeks later. My friend introduced me to a herbal doctor who cures the herpes virus and I witnessed it myself. (doctor's email .. (usmandrhazim@gmail.com) it has been 2 years since I recovered from this virus, no more epidemics, no symptoms of herpes virus, I am so happy to have encountered people healed and I read their testimonial, after taking the herbal medicine I went to my doctor to check if I was totally negative, he confirmed that I am 100% negative for the virus. it is hard to believe that I was cured of herpes.With Dr Hazim's herbal medicine I tested negative. After using the herbal medicine I went to several labs for a blood test and the result was the same, herpes negative, is it possible that I was cured? Because I thought it was not a cure, I am so happy with the result I have today. I feel wonderful, you can also contact him for treatment.. No pain and my result is negative f after using Dr Hazim Phototherapy medicine. it is true that they say there is no problem with a solution. contact the great doctor for a complete cure from any kind of virus and disease, his email address ..( usmandrhazim@gmail.com) Whatsapp / call +2349058026857
