Medical Volunteering Abroad

Get involved in medical volunteering in developing countries to help people in need.

Medical volunteering for better health care in developing countries

Our medical volunteer abroad and the voluntary health promotion programme are an ideal complement for medical students or nurses who want to gain practical experience in hospitals and health centres.

The medical internship also offers opportunities for already trained doctors who want to use their time and skills to help the population in developing or emerging countries. There are many volunteer opportunities for medical students, find the countries below!

While patients and doctors in your home country are blessed with advanced medical care, there is still a lack of adequate health care in third world countries. Given the disadvantages that patients in developing countries often face, your help as a medical trainee abroad is so important.
