Depending on your experience, knowledge and willingness to learn, you can play an important role in healthcare of all types; from general medicine, nursing, pharmacies, social work, clinics, caring for the elderly, children's hospitals or being a midwife. Although physically and often emotionally taxing, volunteering for a medical project is incredibly rewarding.
