Health Project
Trip code: NPL3
An overwhelming number of Nepalese never receive proper health care. Many of the state's health centers, established to provide services in rural areas, are inadequately staffed. The local hospitals which are located in the outer city areas and villages urgently need volunteers and help.
Rustic Volunteer Travel gathers compassionate volunteers/travelers groups to help alleviate this problem in an effort to boost the quality of health care for disadvantaged Nepali people. Your role as a volunteer can make a difference in the lives of sick children and adults, many who dream of being able to properly take care of themselves. Volunteering in Nepal Health Project is an enriching and life changing experience for our volunteers.

| Project/Volunteer's Life: |
Job responsibilities of volunteers joining as a medical volunteer in Nepal vary with education, skills, experience, and qualifications.

Volunteers measure BP, temperature, height, weight Assist doctors and medical staffs with health center tasks.

| Project Locations: |
Health projects are available in Kathmandu (capital city of Nepal with places of great tourist attractions like Thamel, Patan, Swaymbhu, etc.) and Chitwan (Royal Bengal Tiger and the Great One Horned Rhino Mt Everest) , with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. Nepal is renowned for its spectacular landscape and deep, exotic culture. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history of houses made up of a tight bamboo framework with mud and cow-dung walls to modern urban infrastructure and much of the amenities you would expect from a city.
Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: hiking, biking, palaces, art, temples, mountains, national parks, restaurants, hotels, clubs and many more. |
