Health Care Volunteering in Lima, Peru

It was an eye opening experience for me. Discovering that basic health care, screening or even basic health workshops is a luxury it was utterly shocking. But I learned about the health disparities the population faces. Types of health care facilities government provide and had a chance to visit health and prevent centre. I would recommend anyone to want to start their journey in health care or medical care. It also deepened my culture humility. One of the best experience i had in 2025. I also had chance to provide infographic that i had for the population such as what is balance diet, how to wash hands, how to brush teeth, wonderful opportunity to grow professional and personally as well. Apart from professional experience i met amazing people over the span of 2 weeks, great people form different part of the world. We atleast had one meal together, before going to bed watch Netflix most of the days and go for walk. It was one of the best time i had.

IVHQ offered excellent pre-departure support, highlighting travel safety throughout the online modules. The preparation checklist was easy to follow, as well as the instructions for the airport pick up once you arrive in Lima. Everything felt organized and well-coordinated with the local team, who were also very kind, responsive and supportive throughout my stay. Will be returning for another project.
