The Green Lion
💼 What the programme involves
There are many people living in the rural areas far away from the big hospitals in the cities. In the rural areas of the Philippines people go to the local healthcare centres for their health care treatments.
Participants with a medical background who can lend a helping hand are more than welcome and greatly appreciated. Furthermore, there are also small hospitals located in the district's centre where villagers can go for health check-ups and treatments when they are sick. Our participants are also more than welcome in these places.
You will be working in a small hospital and/or local health care center depending on the schedules of the clinics. This project is all about exchanging work/medical experience with local doctors and nurses and gaining new skills. You will be working alongside a local doctor and/or nurse to assist them in their daily operations. Moreover, you will arrange and join healthcare campaigns for children at local schools to increase their health awareness.
