Organization Profiles

Below are profiles of dozens of organizations that require medical or medical support personnel to help carry out their humanitarian missions. Since the list is quite long, it may take a minute to fully load. These profiles contain contact information, general categories of personnel needs, details on who pays for what, length of service and any other requirements such as language, experience or religion. Although we regularly update this list, the information changes rapidly. We appreciate any errors or inaccuracies being called to our attention at info@imva.org . The IMVA does not certify or endorse any of these organizations.

Tips on Searching This List

Most internet browsers have a feature that can help you scan this list looking for key words such as a specific country name or health skill. For example, people using Microsoft's Internet Explorer can click on "Edit", then "Find (on this page)" to select a topic such as "pediatrician". Likewise, people using Netscape can click on "Edit" and then "Find in this page" to select a topic such as "Haiti".

Tips on Finding Volunteer Opportunities

A good way of finding a compatible volunteer assignment is to compose a brief email profile of yourself, containing information such as your medical or medical support skills, the length of service you can offer, any language skills and any previous international experience. You may want to email your profile to at least ten or twenty organizations, because you are likely to receive fewer affirmative responses than you send out. When you find some solid prospects, choose from among them to find the most compatible assignment. Click here to review some of the most important points to think about when evaluating your options. Also, please consider adding yourself to the volunteer registry.  The registry is a kind of "bank" of volunteers that organizations can search to find people for possible assignments.  To learn more about this, just return to the home page and click under "Post Your Skills".

**Please contact us at info@imva.org if you know of an organization that should be added or removed from this list.

Comments:Busoga Development Association is mostly in need of volunteers who can     also help to raise funds for the AIDS Orphans and Widows Program. We are at the moment in need of funds to set up clinics and counseling centers in the village where we are operating, so that we access our clients with cheaper and nearer services to there homes. The hospital is quite very far for our clients to go for medical help. And most of them are very poor to afford the medical fees, so in the long run they just stay in their homes with a lot of pains until they die. Another great need for the organization is means of transport. For the patients who cannot travel on bicycles to access medical treatment can be transported using this vehicle.
We also need drugs and medical supplies to equip the clinic. Drugs which can be of help at the moment include; skin ointments, diarrhea drugs and/or syrups, pain killers, multivitamins, drugs for internal and external wounds, e.t.c….We are operating a mobile medical unit through which our community based counselors move in homes to offer some counseling and medical treatment, relief supplies  when available. For more information about our operations in the villages please you can contact us.

With an annual per capita income of $600, this is one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. There are only 900 physicians in Honduras and only one dentist per 26,000 people. The average worker makes five lempira a day. The cost of one pound of beans or one pound of rice is also five lempira. It takes a full day's work just to feed the family." $950 package includes airfare, room and board.

Comments: Health care volunteers are needed to provide basic services in developing countries where medical treatment is often inaccessible and inadequate. Depending on their specialty, dentists, nurses, physicians and medical students are needed to extract teeth, test eyesight and distribute eyeglasses, check blood sugar levels and blood pressures, do basic health exams, examine newborns, provide prenatal care and, in some cases, perform outpatient surgeries. Our host communities often lack modern medical facilities, so volunteers usually must provide their own tools and supplies. A willingness to be of service, an interest in other cultures and a flexible attitude ensure a successful experience.

Comments: Program is based in Christianity but operates in an ecumenical fashion. We operate a clinic in the heart of Haiti's poorest and most volatile slum, Cite Soleil. This facility, with its 15,000 registered members, provides the only totally free consultation and pharmaceutical dispensing in the slum. Very much a crude and "front line" type of hospital, we hope to improve the quality of the staff and slowly modernize and update the facility.

Comments: Hopital Bon Samaritain (HBS), a non-profit, primary health care center, is situated in the river valley of Limbé, Haiti. HBS was founded in 1953, as a small, grass roots, Christian outpatient clinic and grew under the direction of the late William H. Hodges, MD, to become one of Haiti's principal health centers. The HBS outpatient clinic, a very important and integral part of the facility, is now well complemented by a full service laboratory/radiology department, pharmacy, maternity, adult ward, pediatrics and surgery. The 130 bed internal facility operates year round at 95% capacity or more. HBS encourages persons from different countries and from all age groups and walks of life to come and donate a portion of their life, use their skills and experience the joy of sharing with another culture and society. HBS needs medical and non-medical professionals on a regular basis. General support staff is also sought. Whether you are a student, a professional or retired, if you would like to join in helping to make a difference in the life of the Haitians in the Limbé Valley, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will make every effort to get back to you as soon as possible and discuss positions that you might be able to fill.

At the outbreak of an emergency, we provide sanctuary and lifesaving assistance-rapidly delivering critical medical and public health services, shelter and food. Once a crisis stabilizes, we set up programs to enable refugees to cope with life in exile. Through training, education and income-generating programs, we help refugees acquire new skills to become self-sufficient. For those who cannot safely return to their countries and who qualify for entry into the United States, we assist in their resettlement. Our national network of regional IRC offices makes sure that new arrivals have all that they need to start rebuilding their lives. .

Comments: Interplast is a nonprofit organization providing free reconstructive plastic surgery for needy children and adults in developing countries.  Interplast provides this specialized care in two primary ways:
1. by sending volunteer medical teams overseas to perform the needed surgeries; and
2. by partnering with medical professionals in developing nations to help them advance their skills and manage their own surgical outreach programs.
The majority of patients treated by Interplast are those born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate, or those who have suffered severe burn injuries. Programs have expanded recently to include hand surgery.
Interplast depends entirely on donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations to fund surgical trips, support locally-managed outreach programs, and conduct a variety of medical education and training
programs.  Interplast¹s work is humanitarian in nature; no political or religious affiliations are maintained, and no financial support is accepted from political agencies.

MIHV aims at development rather than dependence so volunteers are typically involved in education and organization as much as direct health care service. Some statistics on Uganda: 10% infant mortality, 2% child immunization, 50 of Ugandan children will be orphaned by the year 2000 because of the AIDS epidemic, also by the year 2000. 1 in 6 babies will die from maternally transmitted AIDS.

Comments: VISIONS Worldwide, a youth-run, nonprofit organization. VISIONS Worldwide seeks to improve health in developing countries through education and local empowerment.  We currently operate in the United States and India. Our programs in India include our HIV/AIDS Programs for Youth, a summer program which send students (aged 18-23) from the US and Canada to cities in India, where they conduct HIV peer education workshops with local students and help to organize and develop local VISIONS chapters of students who conduct HIV/AIDS awareness and education within their own communities. Our other major program in India is Swasthya, a rural health initiative run out of a hospital in Sringeri in the southern state of Karnataka. Swasthya trains local nurses to conduct fieldwork and educational outreaches in the surrounding villages, using 'consultants' (qualified graduate students) from the US and Canada. For work in HIV/AIDS Programs for Youth and the Swasthya Community Health Partnership knowledge of  Kannada or Hindi would be helpful.
