About Program
This program is beneficial for doctors, medical students, nurses and nursing students. Volunteers have the opportunity to work in hospitals, community health posts and health clinics in various locations in Nepal. Volunteers will assist to doctor, nurse and health assistant depending on their expertise. They can also assist in dressing wounds, administering vaccinations, drawing blood, holding babies, as they are treated and helping to screen and organize patients. Volunteers can also assist in obtaining medicines and supplies, and helping out in daily activities. Volunteers can also organize health programs in their placement. This program provides a wonderful chance to support local doctors and nurses in rural areas where health care is limited, and the availability of trained staff is minimal. Volunteers have the opportunity to make a huge difference in these rural communities.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here. Learn more about how Future Nepal is promoting ethical volunteering.
