| Nursing services: | We are a 501(c)(3) organization, whose program fees are tax deductible for US nurses. Volunteers with medical training; doctors, nurses, paramedics, lab technicians participate in direct patient care such as diagnosing, injections, IV starts and lab work. There is a wide variety of cases but disease such as malaria, HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and syphilis, as well as childbirth/maternity needs are most common. Nursing students are welcome and assist with tasks like dressing wounds, record and immunization chart keeping, helping dispense medications, helping to screen and organize patients and assisting with administrative needs or seminars. Most nursing and medical placements are located in busy community clinics which are typically understaffed, have a lack of supplies and equipment. The program is challenging and the need in these countries is extremely high for international assistance. Volunteers live with a local host family near the clinic, are provided meals and a comfortable living arrangement. Our on-site project coordinator arranges airport transfers on arrival and departure, provides city introduction and 24/7 support while the volunteer is in country.
