Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Medical Campaign in Costa Rica.

On this program, you will visit communities alongside local professionals to provide basic health services to those who might not otherwise have access to them. The campaign can be customized for specific medical specialties and levels of experience.

In San José volunteers are accommodated in homestays with local families - it’s an immersive experience that connects you with an authentic insight into the Costa Rican way of life. You will find living conditions are comfortable and you can expect your accommodation to have electricity, drinkable running water and western bathrooms.

The program has start dates every Monday throughout the year.

This is a one week program. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information is available on our website.
 
A special project for groups of eight or more, this is an opportunity designed for groups who want to do specific health outreach work in San José. You can help to treat and educate patients, provide check ups and help with health education. If your group has a medical speciality, then your campaign can be tailored to provide particular specialist services. Groups can be student or independently-led, and the level of care you provide can also be customized to the experience of your group.

A volunteer Medical Campaign involves visiting and working with up to five communities throughout the week. The campaigns mean both children and adults are able to receive basic medical services in their own neighborhoods.
