Public Health Work
Thailand Volunteer Placement
Options
- Full-time volunteer
- Internship
- Part-time volunteer
- Volunteer Only
Thailand significantly lacks widespread primary health care resources. Residents are dying on a daily basis, because their villages do not have enough doctors, hospitals, or even basic health care clinics. Volunteers with a health care background are needed to provide health education to schools, organizations and education centers.
Thailand has at least one hospital in each district, and every sub district has one public health center. Each volunteer's work at their assigned clinic will be dependent upon past experience, qualifications, and skills.
Work Schedule:
Location of Placements: Bangkok
Lodging: Host family
Requirements:
- Minimum age: 18 years.
- Minimum commitment: 2 weeks.
- Minimum Thai level: Mid-Intermediate
- Valid health care certification (such as a medical student ID, nursing credentials, EMT certification, etc.).
Important Things to Consider:
- Volunteers are responsible for their transportation between Bankgok and their assigned clinics (about $75/week)
- Volunteers without medical experience are not allowed to participate in this program, due to potential risks.
Other Comments:
The maximum number of volunteers that this organization accepts is 3-5.
