Medical Volunteering Abroad in Africa & Asia

Join the best medical volunteering abroad programs with Give A Fig Volunteering’s partnerships in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, or Sri Lanka. We provide unique opportunities in hospitals, clinics, and community health for those seeking to make a lasting impact on healthcare access and outcomes in these vibrant and diverse countries. You could do any number of roles, from volunteering as a hospital clerk, to a pre-Med after A Levels, an elective, or practising as a licenced Dr through our programs in one of these countries. You’ll be gaining experience of delivering and supporting healthcare, and of tropical medicine, and learning about the community health issues, and the effects of the medical brain drain to the West on local helath care, in what are often underserved communities. Our medical volunteering placements cover all major health specialities and sub-specialities across the range of providers, and we can match you with your interests.

When you choose your medical volunteering overseas with Give A Fig Volunteering, you are choosing to become part of a global effort to improve healthcare. Whether you're interested in midwifery, community health, psychiatry, our programs are designed to empower you to create positive change while immersing yourself in a new culture, gaining cross-cultural understanding, and enhancing your medical skills.

Embark on a transformative medical volunteering experience with us, driven by our mutual commitment to support local partners in achieving their healthcare aspirations. While you'll encounter challenges such as adapting to different healthcare systems and cultural norms, the rewards are immeasurable, and our local partners and managers will support you 24/7. Your presence supports and empowers local healthcare professionals and communities, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes that improve healthcare in regions that need it the most. And of course, you’ll have time off to see the incredible sights of the country you have chosen to carry out your medical volunteering in.

You can work alongside dedicated midwives in Ghana, address community psychiatric healthcare needs in Uganda, or participate in specialist courses in Sri Lanka as part of your placement. Each experience is carefully designed to maximize your impact on healthcare outcomes while enriching your personal and professional growth, in part through meeting the challenges associated with adapting to different healthcare systems and cultural norms. The rewards, however, are immeasurable, both in terms of the lives you touch and the personal growth you experience.
