As with every hospital, the mission of Hospital Dos de Mayo is to treat those in need of medical care. There is an HIV/AIDS project here that needs volunteers, as do other areas of the hospital. This hospital, which is located in an economically depressed area of Lima, relies very much upon volunteers because many of the people that come here do not have enough money for treatment. Religion offers many patients support here, but volunteers do not need to be religious to volunteer. Volunteers will receive training.
Tasks include working with patients and assisting local staff in administering medical treatment This placement needs volunteer because The Volunteer Station inside Hospital Dos De Mayo is working under the careful conduction of Brother Douglas, an American volunteer who came to Perú 25 years ago and works with other volunteers assisting mainly HIV/AIDS terminal patients and HIV/Tuberculosis patients in the hospital. Underfunded and short-staffed, Brother Douglas has been running this volunteer program on a shoestring for years and any helping hands are welcome.
Volunteers can assist by doing the following tasks: Work as part of a team of local and international volunteers in managing the delivery of basic medication to terminal HIV/AIDS patients. Also counselling HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis patients and keeping the patients comfortable. At times you may feel like you could be of more use, however your cheerful presence amid these terminal cases is sometimes the best medication. You will make a difference simply by being here. Please understand that some of the patients you will become close with may pass during your time with Brother Douglas. Other tasks that you may be requested to preform outside of your core duties: Providing care and comfort for the families of patients.
Volunteers with the following specific skills are preferred for this placement: Doctor Nurse Medical Student Pre-Med Student Emergency Medical Technician Standard First-Aid Health & Hygiene Training HIV/AIDS Awareness Training Public Health Physiotherapy Psychologist Psychology Student Crisis Counseling Sexual & Reproductive Health Training Natural Medicine
