January 2012 St. Olaf Medical Brigade

Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
Group: Medical Brigades at St. Olaf College

Volunteer Activity Description
Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.
