Whether you are a student joining us before going to a nursing or midwifery school or you already have nursing and midwifery knowledge and experience, the doctors in Sri Lanka are eager for you to be involved. Enthusiasm and the willingness to learn, as well as to help staff with their duties, will ensure that your experience is second to none.

Sri Lanka is a fantastic place to spend time volunteering or interning on an international medical placement in Asia. Volunteering on a Medicine & Healthcare project can be done as part of a college summer break, a gap year, a career break, or during a vacation. As a Medicine & Healthcare volunteer, you will gain a great deal of valuable work experience alongside some of the most skilled doctors in the country. The facilities are generally of a decent standard, on par with many hospitals in the West.

The hospitals and clinics we work with are very willing to receive trained nurses and midwives. If you are currently training, or even just considering one of these areas as a future career, you can still have a role to play: shadowing professionals who will be able to teach you all about the field they work in.
