What kind of health care would my son or daughter receive if he or she gets sick?
Health care facilities in Latin America range from clinics staffed by our equivalent of medical residents to hospitals fully staffed with a full range of specialists. The field staff makes arrangements for volunteer health care and will help volunteers receive prompt care in a respected health care facility. Volunteers carry an emergency card with instructions about how to seek medical care. Field staff consult with the International Office on-call team about volunteer illness and treatment. The AMIGOS Medical Director reviews the treatment and medication given to volunteers.
