Summer Healthcare Outreach & Study Abroad | UCESCO Africa
Program Overview
UCESCO Africa's medical camp volunteer program in Nairobi invites pre-med students, doctors, nurses, clinical officers, dentists, laboratory technicians, opticians, and non-medical volunteers to deliver critical free healthcare to Kenya's most underserved communities. Across a 1–9 week placement, volunteers accumulate 60–150 clinical service hours across rotations in primary care, dental, pharmacy, triage, wound care, vision testing, laboratory services, and more. Non-medical volunteers contribute through patient registration, interpretation, data entry, and logistics support.
The program runs on summer, with medical activities scheduled Monday through Friday and structured weekend experiences built into the itinerary — including a Masai Mara safari, Kibera slum tours, and a Mombasa beach retreat for those staying three weeks. Accommodation, local transportation, and most meals are covered by the weekly program fee.
Foreign doctors must apply for a temporary Kenyan medical licence by April 2nd. The program is open to all nationalities, with no minimum academic requirement for non-medical volunteers. A minimum two-week stay is strongly recommended.
