About Program
One of the largest problems Ugandan communities face through is a lack of medical knowledge, supplies and education. The aim of this project is to increase access to quality healthcare in Uganda, providing support to under-resourced local clinics, medical centers and hospitals. These placements encompass a wide range of medical fields and offer in and out-patient services, supporting a high number of patients each day.
This project is well suited to volunteers who are looking to gain international healthcare experience in placements that are underfunded and under-resourced. As a medical volunteer in Uganda you will be working in a local clinic or hospital supported by our local staffs helping to lessen the burden on the stretched resources of the medical service. These facilities are often stretched resources of the medical service. These facilities are often stretched to breaking point and in desperate need of additional help. This is where you come in!
