| Volunteers will work with coordinators from FIMRC project staff, our partner organization and local NGOs to begin community health initiatives. Volunteers will typically spend half the day at the clinic site, working with the clinic doctor and staff to see patients. After lunch, volunteers will run health education lessons and perform house calls throughout the community. FIMRC is also working on collecting basic statistics from the community such as family size, previous healthcare and treatment and nutrition. Volunteers can participate in collecting this information and developing an initial assessment of pressing healthcare needs.
FIMRC has launched an innovative Micro- Health Insurance Project and we are delighted to engage volunteers in our efforts to expand this project. Volunteers may also have the opportunity to visit the local healthcare facilities such as a neighboring clinic or public hospital.
