50 / Fifty Magazine in English



This is an Algerian magazine written in English. It is about Algeria and other parts of the world. The aim of this magazine is to help Algerians in learning English and inform the world about different aspects of Algeria.


There will, insha'Allah be 2 medically related pages, one for the general public and one for doctors.


If you would like to write anything for the magazine, please email me.

We are also looking for Algerian doctors and medical students to interview living both in Algeria and other parts of the world.

If you have any ideas for these pages, please let me know :-)


If you are interested in other aspects of the magazine then please visit Hopeland Institute Algiers Facebook page

Working as a doctor abroad


I received a message in my Facebook inbox about Meda Doc advertising jobs for Algerian medics abroad. Not sure if it's of use to anyone?

Medical Emigration?


Last week in my outpatient clinic, I met a lady who told me that she misses her homeland, she misses the weather, her family and the lifestyle. I asked her what was stopping her returning and was shocked when she told me it was the health service. She had had previous surgery in the UK and was concerned that if she ever left and the problem returned, she would not be able to afford the care required.


I found this very sad. Would you ever consider sacrificing everything for the sake of good healthcare, even if it meant living apart from your family?
