Medical Volunteer Positions in the Maldives

General Info

For a nation of tiny islands spread out over 1000km long, obtaining a consistent and effective health care system is a difficult challenge.
There are two main hospitals in the capital of Male, and others are spread out across the country on larger local islands. In between, are clinics and health care centers, but some only offer basic medical services. Many Maldivians, who can afford to, travel abroad for appropriate medical care.
The Maldives faces some challenging times ahead if they’re to achieve the key objectives of the Health Sector, which are:

Reducing the burden of disease, suffering and disability in order to improve the quality of life;
increasing the healthy life expectancy of all Maldivians by reducing preventable deaths; and
improving the health of present and future generations.

Volunteer Maldives has a number of projects for volunteers to help within this sector, and will welcome trained Doctors and Nurses and also for Medical Students, as part of your degree and training we can organise an internship with a larger ‘Atoll’ hospital, where you’ll gain invaluable experience and knowledge of tropical diseases.
