About Us
Medical / Dental, Most health centers where our volunteers are placed are under-resourced, and understaffed due to the exodus of health professionals to larger cities. There is a great need for efficient hands to help the doctors, nurses and medical staffs in treating the ever-growing number of patients in community clinics, hospices, and small hospitals.
An important element of these placements is learning about healthcare practices in Third World countries. Medical and dental placements are available worldwide which assist the local staff in whatever capacity they may need, such as taking a medical history, checking vitals, providing check-ups, giving vaccinations and HIV testing. As a medical volunteer, you will experience firsthand the discrepancy between the standards of care available in developed countries vs developing worlds. Dental programs engage the volunteer in patient checkups, extractions, simple surgeries, and cleanings.
