Healthcare services in Ecuador are improving steadily. In urban areas you can find all the modern health amenities and doctors and nurses who are well trained and have plenty of experience. But in rural areas, healthcare services are still primitive. People have to travel far and wide to receive proper care and people in these parts still die of curable diseases.
Recognizing this reality, RCDP is working with local initiatives that are trying to improve the healthcare services in Ecuador. If you are a healthcare profession or work in nursing field, this is your ideal project. You can make a genuine contribution in Ecuador’s hospital or health clinics. So volunteer now and cure patients with your expertise.
Volunteers working in medical or healthcare project must produce proof of healthcare certification or work experience. You’ll have to furnish documents like medical student ID, EMT or paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials. Our partnering hospitals/healthcare clinics require a copy of your resume. You must clearly state credentials and education. All this must be done before your arrival at your assigned project.
We will also prefer volunteers who can speak little bit Spanish as they will be able to communicate better with the patients and the staff at the project
Volunteers will be involved in the daily procedures of medical centers. You will observe or directly provide various assistant to existing doctors and nurses. Volunteers may also be expected to assist nurseries, be involved in routine patient check-ups, and much more.
Volunteers may also provide much-needed assistant in various health “camps,” distribute medication, provide tips to patients regarding proper health, nutrition, personal hygiene, sanitation as well as providing general counsel to in-need Ecuadorians. Qualified participants may also assist in treating minor wounds and ailments as well as record-keeping.
RCDP will look after your entire need during your volunteering program. During the project you will stay with the host family. You will be provided with a separate room but you will share bathroom facilities. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide with a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyle and culture of Ecuador. You will be served 3 locals meals by the host family. The meals will be prepared hygienically. Our staff will also visit you regularly to check your progress and see if you’re satisfied with the project or not. So you can rest assure that you will be completed looked after while you volunteer in orphanage work project in Ecuador.
The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor.
