Description
The lack of health care education, medical services and resources in Nepal has lead to much unnecessary suffering. In Nepal, there is an average of one doctor for every 12,612 Nepalese. Without adequate time and resources, local doctors are unable to effectively treat all of their patients. Volunteers for health care projects assist local doctors and medical staff with the treatment of patients. Volunteers are also involved in other hospital activities such as record keeping, sanitation, nutrition, and patient education. Volunteers interested in Health Care programs must currently be a doctor, nurse, medical student, or hospital employee and must demonstrate an appropriate level of training and experience in the medical field.
