The Medical Benevolence Foundation has a long and rich history of supporting missionaries, hospital, and various medical projects in developing countries such as Malawi, Kenya, DR Congo, Haiti, Cameroon, India, and more.

The MBF International Short Term Volunteer (ISTV) program provides a means of coordination between those who are able and willing to serve in healthcare roles overseas and mission sites in need of those volunteers.

ISTV Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications are necessary to volunteer at a mission hospital or clinic?
It depends on the type of volunteer work needed. Medical people should have completed residency/training or work under the direct supervision of another certified health worker.

Are there short-term jobs for non-medical people at these facilities?
Yes. interpreters, accountants, carpenters, plumbers, and teachers are just a few of the skilled people needed from time to time.

Is there a way to be reimbursed for travel expenses?
Volunteers are asked to find their own means of travel; however, most churches are willing to help out in some capacity if money becomes an issue.

Is room and board provided for volunteers?
Most medical mission posts will provided room and meals for a very reasonable price or a discounted total package including airfare, room, meals, and transportation.

How do I find out which of the partner hospitals or clinics need short-tem volunteers and when they need them?
Since the needs are always changing, this is hard to answer. The best thing is to complete the short term volunteer information form and MBF will contact you to discuss what the current needs are.
