As a medical volunteer, your role will involve working in a local clinic or hospital, where you’ll have the opportunity to shadow and assist local medical professionals with their daily tasks. Due to local regulations and language barriers, independent tasks may not be feasible for volunteers. Nevertheless, you will be able to observe healthcare practices in action in a developing country and contribute within the bounds of permission. Your placement will be determined based on your prior experience and training.

Additionally, you may have the chance to participate in medical outreach campaigns held twice a week. These campaigns extend into local villages, providing essential medical care where it is often lacking. Organized and funded entirely by volunteers, these campaigns offer a unique opportunity to make a direct impact.
