Want to be a Medical volunteer in Tanzania? International Volunteer HQ’s Medical project is an exciting opportunity for volunteers to help improve access to healthcare for low-income communities in Arusha. Volunteers gain medical experience by shadowing local professionals at either a clinic or hospital and may also be able to take part in medical outreach campaigns in local villages.
Work departments which are: Surgical, Maternity wards, Pediatric, Dental, Operating theater, Physiotherapy, Medicine, Nursing care, Laboratory molecular (Viral TB diagnosis), Microbiology (Culture and sensitivities and strain) Radiology, Clinical chemistry (body chemistry) Blood bank( type of blood, how to donated blood) and Parasitology
In many poor communities in Tanzania, healthcare is not easily accessible or affordable. The Medical volunteer project aims to change that by placing volunteers in medical clinics that serve vulnerable people.
As a Medical volunteer you’ll work in either a local clinic or hospital, shadowing local medical professionals and assisting with daily duties. Local regulations and language barriers mean volunteers are unable to perform independent tasks; however, you can observe healthcare in action in a developing country and help where permitted. Your placement will be determined by your previous experience and training.
You may also be able to take part in Medical Outreach campaigns twice a week. Campaigns take place in local villages, delivering basic medical care where it’s not often available. These campaigns are fully arranged and funded by volunteers, and you’re welcome to reach out to your Program Manager for more information about these.
