OneWorld Health is changing the nature of short-term medical missions. Our weeklong experiences provide a unique, impactful cultural and educational experience for our volunteers. Volunteer teams aid us in our mission to create quality care to those in need.
 
As a volunteer, you are a representative of OneWorld Health in the regions we serve. The legacy you leave will be what we continue to build upon for years after your departure. With this responsibility, OneWorld Health holds high expectations for our representatives in the field.

Sample Weekly Itinerary:

Friday- Saturday: Travel to Uganda
Sunday: Tour the medical center and meet our amazing local staff. Prepare for clinic. 

Monday-Friday: Conduct medical outreach in the villages surrounding our permanent medical center. Our volunteers are incredibly valuable in fulfilling different clinic roles such as working with the registration, provider or pharmacy teams. These medical outreaches refer patients, promote our permanent medical center and continue setting a precedent for quality healthcare throughout the region.

Saturday: Fun-day activity specific to the region to celebrate our accomplishments.
