Mission Statement
Our aim is to create the opportunity for individuals from different countries to learn and share knowledge and skills of best practice, discuss areas of mutual concern and exchange ideas. Our big vision is to create a platform for collaboration and partnership between like minded individuals who share a common vision for global health. The Problem Hospitals in Africa are unlike those back home. Many government facilities are under resourced, without adequate medication or enough staff to deal with all the patients. There will be times when you are shocked by the conditions you see. The situations local people have to endure to receive what we might view as sub par care or basic care may be saddening.
Description
MEDICAL VOLUNTEERING
So what exactly is medical volunteering? It takes truly committed people to this abroad! With medical volunteering, you will be volunteering to work with patients or in a healthcare specific area on a voluntary basis. Unlike other types of volunteering, medical volunteering is a difficult, challenging and profound area. Medical volunteers will witness and experience things other volunteers never will or what they never would have at home. This can be a huge challenge as often times volunteers experience situations that can leave them feeling sad, shocked or confused. But for the most part volunteers are often left amazed at the resilience of their patients and at the skill and dedication of their new colleagues. It truly is a hugely moving experience and one most Medi Trippers never forget.
