Healthcare Volunteer in Madagascar

The main project area is located in the most Northern Region of Madagascar- the Diana region (red). Most work is done in and around Anivorano-Nord township (red cross-north) at Centre de Sante de Base Niveau II- Anivorano Nord.

In 2012, on a request of the Ministry of Health we opened a new project site in the town of Ambovombe in the most Southern Region of Madagascar; Ambovombe-Androy. The southern region is even more challenging due to high prevalence of moderate and severe child malnutrition and very limited access to medical care.

Each project site has a local project manager. MHI has also country coordinator who assists people in and out of the country and in and around the capital. They also serve as your contacts while in Madagascar.

For many volunteers the time in Madagascar can be a true life changing experience. Whether you wish to join for a week or a month, expand our project or have something you think can make a difference, please don’t hesitate contacting us. We consider accepting good-willed people from all over the world. You can become a volunteer in Madagascar as well as support our organization through volunteer work from your home online.

Almost all work done in the organization is done on volunteer basis. From the internet based projects to work on the ground, people donate their time and skills to expand our projects. No one from management of the organization gets paid. We are all volunteers.
