Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Medical Volunteer Program in Guatemala.

On this program, you will assist with clinics in low-income areas, elderly homes and facilities for people with disabilities. Volunteers gain valuable experience in a medical setting while helping look after people in the community who may not otherwise have access to adequate healthcare.

Volunteers are accommodated in a large, dormitory style volunteer house.

The program has start dates every Monday throughout the year.

This program ranges from 1-24 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available on our website.
 
Your Medical volunteer work in Antigua will be set in clinics in low-income areas, elderly homes and facilities for people with disabilities. Your tasks will match your skills and experience, with more experienced volunteers able to act independently alongside a local medical professional with hands-on tasks. You are required to be suitably qualified for any tasks you carry out, and this will be determined by the local staff you are working with.

For less experienced volunteers, your duties will be mostly observational, assisting local staff with routine jobs. This can include:

• Check-ups
• Basic medical care
• Taking patient details and measurements
• Helping where needed around the clinic

Please be sure to note your relevant qualifications and experience in your application.
