Medical Volunteer Programs
Program Overview
Our Medical Volunteering in Arusha is perfectly designed for medical students or those with a medical background looking to volunteer abroad! Here, you will work alongside experienced, English-speaking doctors and nurses, assisting in patient care.
Please note that, as this program is based in a government-operated hospital, recording and analysis will be a key part of this project, and it is primarily an observational project—although some tasks may include medication preparation, blood pressure measurement, basic triage, and wound care. For that reason, this program is best suited to pre-medical or medical students hoping to gain more insight into the outreach.
Volunteer in a medical project in THV, working within rural Tanzanian communities. Help smaller Tanzanian communities that are deprived of access to basic healthcare and medicine.
