We need Medical volunteers in Uganda and Kenya and we have medical volunteer placements for volunteers on short and long term basis with hospitals, medical centres, clinics and communities.
Can you spare two weeks to help out in a medical clinic or local hospital? Because access to medical services in East Africa communities is often limited, health-care volunteers are needed to provide basic services such as:
Diabetes screenings, tooth extractions, baby checks and pre-natal exams in local clinics, village dispensaries, and in homes. Dentists, nurses, physicians and medical students are also needed to perform physical check-ups, test eyesight, examine newborns, and, in some cases, perform outpatient surgeries. While the needs and the working conditions are very basic, your “hands-on” contribution can be life changing.
Our host communities often lack modern medical facilities, so volunteers should plan to bring their own instruments and medical supplies.
