Universities recommend that an individual must work in health-care centers and go for an observership to shadow different doctors in hospitals. I've done one observership for a month within a hospital, and recieved a certificate for working in a health-care centre (community service). Would you say that's enough for my application or should I do more?

yes, absolutely, but it is how you reflect on that experience
( ie in your PS and even more critically at interviews) that counts and not so much about number of days/ hours
what did you learn? how might you apply this in future?
think of examples beforehand in case asked to give any at interview

its good that you've got experience in a hospital but what I would also recommend is to do some volunteering, eg I did allot of charity work and helped organise sports events etc. do you do sports, are you part of a football team? what I would suggest is look at what qualities they are looking for and think what can I do to show this? eg leadership, is there anything you can do or have done that displays this
