VOLUNTEER ABROAD IN MEDICAL OUTPOSTS AND HEALTH CENTERS IN REMOTE AREAS OF CAMBODIA.
 The medical volunteer projects located in the Northern Cambodian countryside involve working with local and international NGOs. The renovations of several medical outpost/heath centers in these remote areas is done in cooperation with the provincial public health department. In addition, volunteers may work on the follow up of a project initiated by the international development NGO, Malteser, replenishing medical aid kits in over 60 village communities. For participants with a professional medical training, it will be possible to assist local medical staff in the Health centers or to organize first aid refreshers training for villagers.
The first step towards a great stay in Cambodia is the Introduction Week. It’s an action packed, fun filled week that is dedicated to getting to know Cambodia in all its cultural aspects and with a first hand experience. Meet local people, taste local cuisine, and become familiar with local customs. This first week takes place in Samraong in the Oddar Meanchey Province. After this introductory week, participants will begin their volunteer experience.
Volunteer activities may include:
- Basic construction/painting of the health centers/medical outposts,
- Helping to replenish medical aid kits in over 60 communities,
- Assisting local medical staff in the health centers (for those with medical training),
- Assist local medical staff to organize first aid refresher training for villagers (for those with medical knowledge).
