Volunteer story: a week with the mobile care unit

The road to the village

Huda reviews medicines and supplies with the team before departure. At every stop, the unit welcomes children, pregnant women and older people.

She says the most important daily lesson is listening: understanding each family's circumstances is essential to respectful, useful care.

Beyond the clinic

Alongside consultations, the team offers short health sessions and refers patients who need specialist follow-up.
