The
people of people Nepal are suffering avoidable illnesses.
There is an average of one doctor for about 13000
Nepalese.
With lack of time and resources, Nepalese doctors
are simply unable to treat all these people.
Our Health Concern Program helps Nepalese doctors,
nurses and medical staff by providing professional
health volunteers to help them and to also keep patients
happy through stimulating faster recovery.
Volunteers also get involved in other rural hospital/health
post activities, such as sanitation, food, environment
etc. Please note that volunteers interested in our
Health Concern programs should currently be a doctor,
nurse, medical student, or hospital employee to enable
a proper level of training.
How do volunteers work with Health
Concern Volunteers?
On the first few days of your visit, you can explore
Kathmandu Valley. You can learn various aspects of
Nepalese culture - the people and their way of living.
You
then travel to the selected site, which are usually
a day bus ride from Kathmandu and a day's walk from
the bus stop or it can be near by Kathmandy valley.
After a reach selected village you may try to involve
and share their tradition and culture, volunteers'
start their work at selected venue.
This program mainly focuses for about
the primary health and cleanliness in residential
area, schools, health posts, and community buildings.
Volunteers will work in those selected areas and community
by providing primary health and awareness. So, during
the work, you will stay with local families. Accommodation
is simple and shared with family members. Nepalese
traditional food is taken sitting on the floor with
family members. Hands are use to eat food instead
of spoons. You will enjoy joining in with typical
Nepalese family activity because the system is entirely
different to western culture.
Volunteers who have a trained background in the health
care sector may also work in the health post for few
months with Health Post staff. Volunteers can highlight
the importance of health and cleanliness by demonstrating
among rural people and health post staff.
