Hurray for volunteers

Once upon a time there were one or two expatriate doctors running around like headless chicken mentoring our Laotian doctors who's number has grown to 8. But times have changed, this week we've had 6 Laotian doctors and 12 expats so that's a pretty good teaching ratio! It's great to meet so many paediatricians and Emergency medicine doctors from around the world with their different experiences, 10 from North America, 1 from Australia and me repressing the UK. I think we need some more UK representation!
The volunteers all love their time here especially the interaction with the Laotian team. Currently we have volunteer nurses, pharmacists, doctors, IT experts, English teachers, laboratory technicians, radiographer so and physiotherapists. If you'd like to share your knowledge and skills with some wonderful students please get in touch.
Bye Dr Vinay, loved your enthusiasm and endless energy.
