There are many villages and towns that are having hospitals understaffed, as most doctors go for the bigger cities finding the best opportunities. A Broader View Volunteer provides different programs for selective places that are in great need of helping hands in order to assist the doctors, nurses and the remaining medical staff in the hospital. This also helps the volunteer in a parallel way to learn about health care practices in third world countries. Many needs of the doctors such as taking a medical history, performing checkups, checking vitals and giving vaccination can be fulfilled by the assistance of those volunteers to a great extent.
