 HEALTH / NURSING: Our health/nursing programs welcome anyone thinking of taking up nursing or alternative health. By working on this program, you will make a real contribution in hospitals, clinics and NGO's. Your help is needed throughout Ecuador to help the Ecuadorian population in the poorest urban or rural areas. Our host medical centres and patients welcome medical students, specialist, nurses, etc. The key requirements in our health/nursing volunteer programs are initiative, enthusiasm and readiness to work in unfamiliar circumstances. You will be involved in the day-to-day running of medical centres, observing or directly providing general assistance to the doctors and nurses or you might help maintain the files, help at the reception desk or in the nursery, assist with patient check-ups, etc. |
