About Us

The University of Pennsylvania Medical chapter of VAW Global Health Alliances (VAW Global ) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed to addressing the health disparities that currently exist in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the organization VAW Global, our club at the University of Pennsylvania strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access to medical treatment, medication, and nutritional and health education.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care. **Note: airfare is not included
