Volunteer Programme: Patient Guides, Community Health & Blood Donation
Status: Open – accepting applications
Every day, hundreds of patients and families arrive at YGOPH, often worried and unsure where to go. Volunteers can make a real difference to their experience, and to the success of our health campaigns. We are building a volunteer programme with three roles:
- Hospital hostesses and patient guides: welcome patients at the entrance and in the main waiting areas, give directions and explain the steps of a visit, alongside our reception staff;
- Community health volunteers: support our awareness days and outreach activities, such as Octobre Rose, World Prematurity Day, World AIDS Day and Youth Week;
- Blood donation volunteers: help organise blood drives, encourage family and friends to donate, and welcome donors at our blood bank.
Volunteers never carry out clinical tasks or handle payments. They receive an induction on hospital rules, confidentiality, hygiene and communication with patients, and are supervised by the relevant service.
How to apply
Send an application letter stating the role that interests you and your availability, a CV and a copy of your national ID card through our online application form, or deposit them at the Human Resources Sub-Directorate. Selected volunteers will be invited to an information session.
