We will work with you to find a nursing volunteer placement that suits your level of experience.
We have volunteering placements in nursing to suit people of all levels of qualification and experience.
Volunteering on a medical project in Africa is very helpful in preparation for a career in nursing and midwifery, general medicine, dentistry and physiotherapy. Nursing students gain outstanding medical experience in the local clinics or hospitals.
Volunteering in nursing is also suitable for qualified and experienced healthcare professionals.
Nurses, midwifes, medical assistants, medical students, nursing students and nutritionists are all welcome to apply.
As a nurse volunteer, you will be able to make a meaningful difference in the life of African child and help health care professionals in Africa. Volunteer nurses and other medical volunteers work with local doctors and medical staff to assist with the daily medical routine - applying dressings, prescribing medication, recording patient history, patient consultations, minor surgeries, and counselling patients
The hospitals and clinics are often very busy. Other areas that involve nursing volunteer work include:
Maternity Wards
Laboratories
HIV/AIDS Support Groups
Community Outreach
Student nurse volunteers learn a lot about tropical and infectious diseases in the volunteer nursing and medical placements.
Although the nursing volunteers will benefit enormously from their experience in Africa, our main aim in providing the voluntary nursing positions is to provide consistent and effective assistance to the communities we work in.
