  Public Health Program

 

Help facilitate a better quality of life for people in Argentina when you volunteer with our Public Health Program in Buenos Aires.

As a volunteer in Buenos Aires, you will be helping local residents who cannot afford proper health care. You will also be learning about the realities of the public health system in Argentina. Volunteers with our Public Health Program will have the option of working in a project development capacity or in a more hands-on environment in the field.

If you choose to work in the office of our partner organization, you will be assisting in the development of vital community health projects. Your work will include conducting research, writing, translating, participating in fundraising efforts, assisting in event planning, creating communication materials, and working on other media-centered projects. Volunteers opting to work in the field will have the opportunity to help children who lack basic nutrition and/or medical attention, children who are chronically ill, and patients in a public hospital.

As a volunteer, you may:
Assist patients in a public hospital
Conduct nutrition workshops
Work in a community center health clinic
Provide medical and dental treatment at a private clinic (if     qualified to do so)
Implement health programs in poor areas around Buenos Aires
Work with children with cancer during their treatment and     recovery
