Description: Unfortunately, public health care in Honduras is one of the worst in Latin America. There are very few good hospitals, and even middle class families are often unable to afford such good hospitals. Hence, assistance is needed from able volunteers in our Volunteer Honduras Health Project, in which these volunteers serve in local hospitals which are often poorly-equipped.

Volunteers in this project support the local doctors and nurses. You may work in different capacities, from providing observational assistance to providing assistance in surgery, based on your skills and experience. Also depending on your skill level, you can help take care of the patients, check blood pressure, distribute food, and work in the pharmacy, or with a gynecologist. There is always something to do in the public hospital and clinics in La Ceiba and surrounding areas.
