Community Health Post Volunteer

Revolutionize Healthcare in Nepal: Join Our Medical Volunteer Program at Community Health Post

Embark on a journey that truly matters by joining our Medical Volunteer Program in Nepal. As a medical professional or student, you will work in health posts, sub-health posts, and health clinics, both in urban and rural settings, providing essential primary care in your specialized field.

The context is vital to understand: Nepal’s doctor-patient ratio is an astonishing 1 to 150,000 in rural Nepal. In rural areas, where a significant portion of the population resides, there’s an acute shortage of medical personnel and resources. Your role will encompass following doctors on their rounds, exploring innovative treatments for common ailments, delivering physical therapy, and participating in crucial vaccination programs.

Our Medical Volunteer Program is a beacon of hope, and the contributions of independent-minded professionals like you are immeasurable. You will directly impact the lives of those in need, playing a pivotal role in the villages and towns you’ll serve. Your journey begins here—be a catalyst for change. Contact us today for more information.

 

“I joined the health and Sanitation program for 3 weeks and most of my time spent in the health post was spent taking the blood pressure and temperature of the patients who come. I would also observe the Auxiliary Health workers (knowledgeable individuals who would take on the job of a Physician even though they weren’t officially trained in medicine) as they diagnosed the problem and prescribed medication. For me, it was the first time I saw a scabies patient or a Tuberculosis patient and it was a learning experience. If you are also a health student I would recommend bringing your own set of diagnostic tools such as your stethoscope and penlight. Besides working at the health-post, I also interacted with some of the villagers and I would say that this was the favorite part of my journey.Philip Yeung (Hong Kong)”

“I am 29 years old female nurse from Costa Rica. I spent 1 month in Dhading little village with a lovely and welcomely Nepali family which make the experience 1000% better. I helped them in farm activities, it was a hard work that make you value even more our farmers. Also, I was volunteering in the school where I mostly take care of the kids, helping them to do their tests and some English lessons. After that I was in a Health Post Office where I shared with nurses and doctors the way we care/treat some common diseases, it was a very great experience (Personally and Professionally). In the village everyone is so interesting and know you that language is not a barrier. Just smile and people will feel that you are interested in their stories too. I will highly recommend to do a volunteer here and I will glad to do it again. It was a great honor to me to serve them but to be fair they gave me more than I gave to them. Thank you for this amazing one life time experience.

With all my love, Karen Benavider (Costa Rica)”
