Volunteer Experience
Location- Cusco Peru
June 2018
Experinced the Peruvian healthcare system and gained hands-on experience in hospitals and clinics for low-income communities, as well as assisted living facilities. These facilities are often underfunded and understaffed so medical volunteers are an important source of assistance for local doctors and nurses and help to improve access to these vital health services for local people.
