As part of our selection process, you will need to be medically cleared by our Medical Team. You’ll need to submit detailed personal health information and to undergo a full medical examination.
Our Medical Team are experts in the travel health of volunteers working in poorly resourced settings. They’ll review whether the project is medically suitable for you, based on a risk assessment of your health.
