Health Care Volunteer Services

Our in-country staff and host partners match your abilities with local work projects. Health care professionals are needed to provide patient care to impoverished children and their parents. Because access to medical services in developing communities is often limited, health-care volunteers are needed to provide basic services such as diabetes screenings, tooth extractions, well-baby checks and pre-natal exams in local clinics, village dispensaries, and in homes through outreach programs.

In some countries, medical students can assist with patient care and education. Scholarships are available to qualified students to apply to the program fee. Learn more here.

While the needs and the working conditions are very basic, your 'hands-on' contribution can be life-changing. It's very helpful if you can bring donated medical supplies. You can do this! Read on to learn how you can provide health care volunteer services.

"I enjoyed getting to know the doctors and nurses I worked with, learning about their lives and how they care for people. I developed a close personal relationship with the midwife at the hospital. Friendships were formed easily and the sharing of the local culture was abundant. I was struck speechless by the warm, caring outpouring we received from the people we worked with. A baby was born on my birthday and the parents allowed me to be part of that special moment in their lives. The pictures they allowed me to take of them will always be cherished."
