Choose the area where you want to make a difference and embark on a truly transformative journey.

Healthcare Support

As part of this project, you will be placed in a local clinic where you will have the chance to shadow doctors and nurses, observe their working methods, and gain firsthand insight into the Peruvian healthcare system.
Your main responsibilities will include supporting nursing staff in preparing medical materials and measuring patients’ vital signs. You will also assist with administrative tasks such as patient intake and updating medical records.
Please note that your level of involvement and responsibility will largely depend on your Spanish proficiency and proactive attitude. In a medical setting, building trust with the team is essential, so being able to communicate effectively in Spanish will help you integrate better and make a more meaningful contribution.
