Nurses In Action

Nurses in Action is a specialised, skilled volunteer program for Nurses and Midwives as well as other qualified Health Practitioners. World Youth International operates as Nurses in Action for this specific program, which is run separately to their other programs and international projects.

Nurses, Midwives, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Paramedics and other allied health professionals have joined this program.

The NIA Program runs in Kenya and Nepal with the objective of building local capacity in improving health services to rural communities (such as at the Odede Community Health Centre in Kenya), and offering healthcare to communities living in extreme poverty who would not be able to access it otherwise (such as earthquake-affected communities in Nepal).

NIA Volunteers work in local medical clinics and hospitals as well as on Community Outreach Programs and Medical Camps, alongside local staff and community members.
