Clinical Mentor Volunteers in Developing Countries
ICEHA's work is made possible through our large network of dedicated clinical mentor volunteers
who rapidly build up the skills of local healthcare providers in developing countries. Even when
ICEHA’s clinical mentors leave, the changes made to the healthcare system remain in effect and
local healthcare providers are capable of providing quality medical care (both treatment and prevention).
