Volunteer at a Medical Clinic (rural outpost)

Program Description

In Guatemala, there exists a network of public health services, free of charge. Also, only 5 km away from Quetzaltenango, there is a health center, where local inhabitants from the city or surrounding communities can obtain free health service. They offer basic health care like doctor’s consults and baby´s vaccinations, and growth monitoring. The health posts only work with daily consults, they don´t receive overnight patients.

Volunteers are always needed at the health posts. Volunteers often work:
- Vaccination room (vaccinating babies), checking their height & weight
- Assisting the doctor in consults if you have medical & Spanish skills
- Many other daily tasks

Program highlights

Most help is needed in the mornings, so it's perfect to combine your volunteering with Spanish lessons in the afternoons, which is a nice way to improve your Spanish but also learn about the Guatemalan culture.

On the weekends we can organize nice trips to surrounding sites.
