Program Overview

The mission of this crucial program is to help provide quality medical care to underprivileged communities. Facing a multitude of health issues, many local Nepalese are suffering. There's also an ongoing need to mobilize health workers. Thus, Love Volunteers partners with a busy city hospital in Pokhara, and volunteers may attend free health camp outreaches in impoverished villages in the region.

This program is open to healthcare practitioners with relevant experience and education and medical and pre-med students. Volunteers are paired with resident Nepalese doctors and nurses to observe and shadow. They may also assist with patient care, depending on skills and training.

Mikela KringDenmark · April 2018

One of the best experiences in my life

I was a medical volunteer in Fewa City Hospital in Pokhara, Nepal. I am a pre-med graduate from Denmark meaning that I had no previous hands-on experience. But I still got to observe, participate and help so many people. It was wonderful, challenging, educational and eye-opening. I learned so much about medicine, medicine in a Third World country and the Nepali culture. Words cannot describe how much I learned and developed, I enjoyed this so much. But it should be noted that this particular volunteering program is not for those who are afraid to ask questions and take initiative. Your learning and participation is your own responsibility. Noone will be there to hold your hand and explain everything to you. You must ask questions, study at home to understand the cases better, engage yourself and put in the time. The more you give, the more you get!
