REVIEW
Every year, we are trusted to place more than hundreds volunteers across our Medical volunteer projects in Ghana. AEO offers Healthcare volunteering abroad opportunities which support hygiene and public health campaigns, some of which do not require any previous experience. We’re also experienced in organizing Medical campaigns for students or professionals looking to volunteer abroad together as a group.
The experiences you will have on these programs are likely to be vastly different from anything you are used to. Working from temporary clinics and hospitals in Asia you will get to help people in rural communities that otherwise have little or no access to health care. Your scope of medical volunteer work will vary depending on your experience and the needs of your placement and you’ll be supported by qualified medical professionals. If you’re seeking Medical volunteer opportunities in a specialty field, AEO will you with our Medical Volunteer Experts, who can help you select a Medical project abroad that best aligns with your area of expertise.
