Medical Volunteering with IVHQ in Zambia

Volunteers on the Medical project help to provide care in these areas and work alongside local medical professionals, gaining an understanding of the healthcare system in Zambia. Volunteers work in medical clinics and are placed according to previous experience and training. Some clinics include departments, such as Laboratory Testing, Pharmacy, Maternity, Gynaecology and Family Planning, work with the blind, HIV/AIDs, and Nutrition. The key attributes for a successful Medical volunteer are initiative, enthusiasm and readiness to work in basic facilities with limited resources. Volunteers must be a student in Medical or Nursing School in order to be eligible to apply for this program and must bring proof of relevant qualifications, training or certification with them.
