Driven by an unshakable belief in human dignity and worth, GAiN’s medical missions provide medical care and health education to those experiencing hardship.
Join a medical mission volunteer team and be part of meeting the physical and practical needs of those we serve.
You don’t need any experience in a medical background to be a volunteer on a medical mission. All you need is a willingness to serve humbly and an open heart to see the work of GAiN among the people of the Philippines.
We are looking for team members who are willing to serve in any capacity. Medical positions include nurses, doctors, pharmacists, optometrists, dentists, etc.
We are also looking for people who can fill the following roles: translators, volunteers for children’s ministry, crowd control, counsellors and general administration. The GAiN team from Australia will join a team from Philippines to minister to the people who attend the medical mission sites.
GAiN is dependent on donations to cover the cost of its humanitarian aid and medical missions. The medical mission trip will cost GAiN $4,000 per volunteer to cover air fares, travel insurance, International SOS registration, accommodation, transportation, food, medicines, local volunteer costs and support for local partners.
For the mission to be viable financially, GAiN needs to have a mission team from Australia of around 12 members, so at least $48,000 must be raised from donations to cover the cost of the trip.
Volunteers may wish to ask their church and other contacts to partner with GAiN and make a donation to the mission, or make a donation to the mission themselves, so that the costs involved can be covered.
