VOLUNTEERING ON HEALTH PROJECTS

Volunteers assist MANDO staff with patient consultations, recording patient histories, diagnosing medical conditions, prescribing medication, applying dressings, minor surgeries and counseling patients.

Volunteers have the opportunity to work in the areas of general medical practice, maternal health, minor surgery and laboratory work.

Although the type of work volunteers will perform is subject to the needs of the particular hospital, volunteers can expect to be working with limited medical resources and technology. Because of this, volunteers need to be self-directed and use initiative.

Note: The type of work volunteers will perform is subject to the needs of a particular project and their own experience and skills.
