Zimbabwe
Ve’ahavta is now recruiting volunteers for placements with the Salvation Army Howard Hospital in Zimbabwe. We are looking for health care professionals who can provide volunteer support for 1-6 months in Zimbabwe. Placements are flexible and can be coordinated according to the volunteers’ schedule.
Founded in 1923, Howard Hospital is a Salvation Army institution situated in the Chiweshe communal land of rural Zimbabwe. Eighty kilometers north of the capital of Harare, the hospital is the referral centre for the Mazowe district of Mashonaland Central Province and has a catchment of greater than 270,000 people.
A variety of medical and social services are provided for all ages, from the newborn to the elderly and terminally ill. There are in-patient and out-patient departments seeing 140,000 patients a year, an operating theatre, pharmacy, laboratory, and facilities for xray, ultrasound and rehabilitation. The nurses’ training school offers a certificate for primary care nurses and complete training in the practice of midwifery.
Ve’ahavta is working with the Howard hospital to provide pharmaceutical equipment, medical and educational supplies, and clothing to the local community. We are also seeking to recruit the services of health care professionals and educators for long-term placements ranging from 1 to 6 months.
