The Global Brigades aims to resolve health and economic disparities. Through increased access to healthcare, clean water and in-home sanitation projects, and supporting community-owned banks, we aim to support communities as they empower themselves. Throughout the year, 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.

Volunteering:
Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala and Greece. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to learn about global health contexts by shadowing licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assisting in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year.
