Kenya
Medical
& Dental Volunteer Abroad
As
an overseas healthcare or medical volunteer you will
work with local staff in support of the health care efforts.
There
are a number of medical and dental clinics in Kenya
where voluntary healthcare workers
can be placed.
We also have wonderful international voluntary service placement
opportunities
for dentists and dental technicians and hygienists in a number of
Kenyan hospital dental units. You
can also volunteer or do your volunteer work as a dental or
medical assistant at one of the local
hospitals.
Kenyan
medical clinics, health centers and hospitals vary in size
and number of patients from as many as 5 per day to as many as
200 or more. Generally
overseas interns and volunteers abroad in medical and dental work
will assist and support
local doctor/dentists, nurses and clinicians in the
normal
routine
of medical work including taking vital signs, dressing wounds,
taking
patients history, counseling patients, providing
assurance and moral support to patients' family, disbursing minor drugs
etc.
International volunteers and interns will be expected to work for
between 3 to 8
hours a day. You
will find the Kenya dental
and
medical volunteer abroad opportunity
enlightening and rewarding.
Many
of the Kenyan healthcare facilities lack modern facilities and
the few that are available are often broken down from overuse. Any
donations of facilities are welcome. Such donations can be channeled to
the hospitals directly. Please Contact
Us for
advise and information.
