Overview

Have you ever dreamt of gaining international medical experience while giving back to the communities in need? Join IFRE’s Medical Volunteer Opportunity in South Africa and live your dream!

South Africa possesses better health care systems in comparison to other African countries. However, despite having a good number of hospitals and clinics, poor and marginalized communities are still deprived of the proper healthcare facilities. Public hospitals are often overcrowded and underfunded and private hospitals are very expensive. As a result, the people residing in poorer areas of Cape Town are deprived of the most essential healthcare facilities and succumb to treatable diseases. You can participate in this program and make a memory of a lifetime, saving disadvantaged people’s lives and gaining invaluable medical experience.

In this program, you will be placed in a local government hospital or clinic in Cape Town. You will shadow local doctors and nurses in the treatment of people from less-fortunate backgrounds. Your role will be to assist with general check-ups and examinations of patients. Similarly, you will help in health camps, dispense medicines, treat minor injuries or wounds, provide important tips and education to patients on health, nutrition and sanitation.
Being a part of this healthcare volunteer program in South Africa will be an eye-opening and life-changing opportunity for you. You will not only make a difference but also gain valuable medical knowledge and field experience by learning from medical professionals which will help you excel in your medical career.
