A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Nursing
Best Locations
Volunteer projects in nursing range from working in remote areas where basic medical care can be scarce, to locations with cutting-edge work on infectious diseases. You can help pediatric patients, geriatric patients, and everyone in between. Some of the best places for nursing volunteer programs abroad are:
Vietnam. Nursing volunteer projects abroad are plentiful here. Vietnam is a popular destination for volunteering with nursing, and offers support positions for those who might be new to the field. Typical opportunities would include supporting post-surgical medical teams and visiting with sick children who are hospital-bound. The larger hospitals, especially those in Ho Chi Minh City, have English-speaking medical teams so knowledge of Vietnamese is not required (but those interested in learning the language will be able to do so).
Kenya. Volunteering for nursing in this African country could mean working with skilled medical teams in refugee camps in Nairobi, assisting with national women’s health initiatives, or providing much-needed support to orphanages and children’s welfare programs. If you’re willing to challenge yourself in an environment where resources can occasionally be difficult to secure, you will find that nursing volunteer projects abroad in Kenya will test your skills and grow your experience.
