Health program in Costa Rica – a volunteer’s testimonial!
The organization we work with in Costa Rica offer many opportunities for volunteers to get first-hand experience in the health sector.
Depending on your level of knowledge, specialization, and skill, you may check blood pressure, distribute food and medicine, weigh babies, accompany emergency response vehicles, and help with other first-aid procedures.
Examples of places where volunteers are needed are hospitals, senior care centers, the Red Cross and EBAIS (small clinics in individual communities). Assistance with public health community campaigns and other basic education can also be part of the job.
