Health Volunteers Overseas is all about our volunteers! We recruit and train highly qualified health care professionals to teach and train on short-term volunteer assignments in developing countries. The success of HVO programs depends upon these dedicated individuals to share their expertise with their counterparts in developing countries. They offer mentoring, training, guidance, and professional support to local health care providers who care for the neediest populations in the most difficult of circumstances.
