About the volunteering opportunity
Doctors of the World is the German section of the international humanitarian organization Médecins du Monde/Doctors of the World. Doctors of the World is committed to ensuring that all people everywhere can assert their right to health - with medical aid and political work.
In the open.med Magdeburg project, we advise and treat people without health insurance or difficult access to the healthcare system during consultation hours. The majority of our patients belong to vulnerable groups. In addition to medical care, we support these people with socio-legal and psychosocial advice. The main aim of the project is to (re)integrate patients into the regular healthcare system.
From September, we will be offering a general medical consultation twice a week for around three hours at Einsteinstraße 4a in Magdeburg.
