  • About
    Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare.

Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. At the University of Virginia, the Medical and Dental programs are combined so that patients will be able to receive optimal care.

University of Virginia Medical Brigade May 2017 Nicaragua


Volunteer Activity Description
Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
