    How to Apply

    Medical volunteering takes place in a medical center and a local hospital belonging to the country's health system (SIS), which serves people with fewer economic resources. Therefore, volunteering benefits the patients of the medical center and the hospital, as well as the volunteer who gains valuable experiences for their future medical career.

    The work itself involves observing doctors during consultations and assisting doctors and nurses with procedures such as sutures, bandages, and similar tasks.
