Healthcare Outreach and Education in Uganda
Details
Description
Ugandan people living in rural towns can’t easily access vital healthcare services that are often based in urban areas. This includes testing and treatment for malaria, a mosquito-borne disease which infects hundreds of thousands of people each year. Volunteers can help to ensure rural people get this essential service along with education around sexual health, hygiene and nutrition.
As a Healthcare Outreach and Education volunteer, you’ll spend the two weeks visiting rural communities and deliver healthcare to as many people as possible. All volunteers will receive training and guidance in administering malaria tests.
If you’re trained in a particular medical specialty, such as dentistry, it may be possible for you to do a tailored outreach, so please include this information in your application.
The project begins on the 15th of each month and runs for two weeks. Your Program Fee for the two weeks covers accommodation, three meals a day, basic first aid supplies, malaria testing kits, malaria medication, transport and supervision
