Om programmet

The program

Our medical volunteering program is based in the vibrant and bustling city of Cusco, Peru. The experience will allow you fully immerse yourself in a whole new culture whilst gaining essential work experience to develop in your chosen medical discipline.

Medical students or professionals will be placed in "Centros de Salud" or Hospitals which provide both primary and basic emergency care to low-income families. Clinics receive a large amount of patients every day.

Volunteer work

Medical students can support the provision of medical care, participating in hygiene campaigns and healthcare education. You will be working alongside doctors and nurses, rotating within the different departments of the clinic, such as pediatrics, obstetrics, and general medicine.

Medical Interns will be given a level of responsibility that corresponds to their level of training, Spanish and ability to take initiative.

Responsibilities might include:
– Observe and aid in patient consultations
– Observe and aid in physical examinations
– Assist with processing, reporting, and interpreting laboratory tests
– Observe and perform injections, sutures, and suture removal
– Aid in obstetric check-ups and consultations, as well as family planning services
– Prepare and sterilize equipment and materials
– Organize patient medical files

Our medical volunteer program allows you to learn about healthcare and medicine on an international level often very different from Western medicine. Working with local doctors and Peruvian patients in local clinics and hospitals will give you real-life experience and learning opportunities that will enhance your career while also broadening your horizons to medical problems in South America.

What you should bring

 **Volunteers are required to bring their own basic medical supplies, including white coat, scrubs and stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. Prior to your arrival you may be required to provide copies of your training and credentials.

Om projektet

Peru Volunteer and Travel is a Peruvian based organization, who really want to make a change. That is why we have created the most affordable, and life-changing programs.

Mød din vært

Peru Volunteer and Travel was founded in 2011, and is a leading organization in volunteer and internship abroad. We have a dedicated, multilingual team available 24/7 to support and care for our volunteers, we strive to set ourselves apart by providing a top-notch client service and great home base facilities.
As a Peruvian based organization, we personally know the reality from all of our projects and we know which volunteer projects really need help from volunteers and we place our volunteers in these places so that you feel needed and satisfied.
During your volunteer placement you will always have support close at hand by our Coordinators.

Whether you will be working in childcare or a medical placement, teaching English, or any other program with us, you will be making a difference in the poor Peruvian reality. You will interact with poor, disabled, and sad children whose faces light up when they see you come to help them. The adults will make you feel welcome and will be extremely thankful for your help. It will be a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget.

Our principal goal is to be one of the organizations that works with the neediest people in Peru in order to try to change their lives for the better. But, of course, we need the help of our volunteers. That is why we make sure to offer quality, safe, and affordable programs for our volunteers and travelers.
We can maintain low prices and high quality programs because we are the creators of our volunteer programs in Peru. We are the in-country coordinators for many other organizations, our main office is in Peru, and our programs are considered the best ones there are!

2024 at Childcare Center

I thought volunteering is a duty: if we can do something good, if we can help somewhere then we must do it. However, after spending a month living as a Cusqueña, I realized that it is a privilege. It is a privilege to be part of the daily life in a daycare, to watch the children learn new words, ...
