Volunteers support clinics and hospitals, gaining hands-on experience while assisting patients and staff. Placements offer valuable international exposure and insight into healthcare practice in a different cultural setting. Based on skills and needs, volunteers may be assigned to departments such as nursing, optometry, dentistry, or other critical units. Many gain first-hand experience in wards and theatres while contributing to quality care.
