Model Medical Volunteering in Mission Health Centres in Africa. Activities of the Redemptoris Missio Humanitarian Aid Foundation

Summary/Abstract: Medical volunteering in Africa is a response to the shortage of specialized personnel in local health centers. In order for the activities of volunteers to produce a positive effect, it is necessary to properly train the candidates and properly prepare the organizational facilities. The Redemptoris Missio Humanitarian Aid Foundation has many years of experience in working with volunteers. By examining the practices of this foundation, the author tries to define a model organization of medical volunteering in mission health centers in Africa. The conducted research process allowed to identify some key elements of volunteering: cooperation with local partners, making an appropriate offer for volunteers, defining clear recruitment rules and conducting an interdisciplinary training process for people moving to mission centers.
