Ecuadorian hospitals in rural areas and in the slums of larger cities are overcrowded and need any support possible. Goal of this project is to insure basic health care and to provide health education. If you are a medical student or a prospective nurse your can contribute in following fields: gynecology, pediatrics, general medicine, emergency hospitalization, pharmacy, occupational therapy, dentistry etc. Medical students take part in health education campaigns and prevention and are allowed to take on basic nursery duties. Professional volunteers may help children and their families in specific areas. If you are not medically experienced there will be other important tasks for you, too. Volunteers are involved in the everyday work of Ecuadorian clinics by observing and assisting medical doctors and nurses, administering patients’ data or assisting at the reception desk.
