    Om programmet

    While participating in the medical assistance volunteer program in Senegal, you will be able to support the general medical care of the children attending the schools where we collaborate and the members of the local communities.

    Poor health conditions and poverty are part of a vicious cycle that is common in many developing countries like Senegal. The center lacks adequate resources for treatable diseases such as covid, pregnancy and other pathologies. This also prevents children from attending school and their families from working. 

    Our volunteers aim to alleviate many health problems while demonstrating a lasting impact and emphasizing the importance of prevention. They also ensure that the necessary equipment and utensils are provided to enable them to practice medicine at the center.

    Volunteers are expected to help in the local community center in which we collaborate and in supporting medical assistance creating a positive impact.

    Some of the activities volunteers can help with are:
    • Pregnancy exam.
    • Blood pressure and hypertension checks
    • Blood sugar testing for diabetes
    • Hepatitis B testing
    • Rapid diagnostics for malaria
    • Weight and nutrition measurements
    • You are also welcome to help with the organization of workshops and health education talks on good sanitation practices and prevention of diseases such as malaria or with the dissemination of the program in order to attract donors of clinical material.
    The health activities consist of healing people as much as possible, participating in deliveries, assisting in the preparation and maintenance of patients' rooms, educating the local population on disease prevention. These activities are done in a small dispensary in Kédougou.

    Currently, no special clothing is required, however, volunteers should dress appropriately, as they are serving people from the community.

    They are also advised to wear long pants or dresses, T-shirts that cover their chest and shoulders, and comfortable shoes.

    A typical day as a volunteer in Senegal consists of waking up in one of the host families' houses, where you share a room with other volunteers. Volunteers have breakfast at the accommodation and head to the medical program. There they will begin the tasks to be performed.

    Our volunteers work at least 3 to 4 hours a day, Monday through Friday, usually between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., but working hours may vary depending on the needs of the medical centers. They are expected to assist in local facility and healthcare support creating a positive impact.
