Volunteer Activity Description

Start Date: May 7, 2015 12:00 AM
End Date: May 15, 2015 12:00 AM

Global Brigades offers 9 day Medical-Public Health Brigades for volunteers to participate in throughout the year. During a medical brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. On Public Health Brigade volunteers develop sustainable health solutions and establish a standard of health quality by emphasizing prevention and education.
