Program Description:
Medical Campaign Nepal
Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Medical Campaign in Nepal.

On this program, groups of volunteers provide roving healthcare outreach in a variety of communities in Nepal. Volunteers will visit up to four different locations where they will provide basic medical care and treatment to local people who may otherwise find it difficult to access.

On arrival in Nepal, volunteers stay in a local hotel in Kathmandu for their two-day orientation. Volunteers are then accommodated together in homestays and hosted by local families who have been approved by our program staff.

The program has start dates throughout the year, every first and third Monday of the month.

This is a one week program. Your fully-hosted experience includes 24/7 support, accommodation, meals, airport transfers, Medical Campaign, private transportation to placement daily, language translators, program orientation and discounts on language lessons. Detailed pricing information is available on our website.
 
Your Impact

Nepal’s healthcare system is generally regarded as substandard and failing to meet the needs of the people it serves. Great efforts being made to improve this situation suffered serious setbacks after the 2015 earthquake which saw thousands of healthcare facilities destroyed. Volunteers can make a genuine difference to the lives of people, especially those in rural or remote areas, by bringing healthcare to them in their own neighborhoods.

As a Medical Campaign volunteer you will visit three to four communities throughout the week to help treat and educate patients, provide check ups and help with health education. If your group has a particular medical specialty, then your campaign can be tailored to provide specialist services in dentistry, physical therapy or nursing. Groups can be led by any member of the group and the level of care you provide can be adapted to the experience of your group, from pre-med students to qualified professionals.
