Volunteer Peru

Volunteer Programs in Peru: Healthcare Medical Program

We have placements in community clinics in Cusco. Community hospitals in Cusco provide necessary care for thousands of Peru's poorest; their children and the indigenous people. Since most people, especially the children lack medical attention, these clinics provide basic heath check ups, dental and immunizations free of charge, so the need for volunteers is great.

Medical volunteers assist the local staff in whatever capacity they may need, such as taking medical history, checking vitals, assisting with medicine and supplies. Medical and nursing students are accepted as well (some projects available for pre-medical students with Spanish knowledge) Proficient Spanish knowledge is required. This is a great opportunity to gain first hand medical experience in a foreign country while donating your time and skills. Healthcare volunteers must be in the medical fields or studying, EMT trained, and provide their credentials or university enrollment letter. *Pediatrics and dental care needs are the highest.
