HVO envisions a world where all people have access to quality health care delivered by health professionals in their communities. We foster partnerships between local health institutions, providers, volunteers, and sponsor organizations to provide education, training and professional development opportunities to health workers in resource-scarce countries.
Our volunteers are licensed health care professionals who help train the next generation of health workers, while mentoring and working alongside those already in practice in the countries where we work. By investing in the education of the local health workforce, HVO’s global health community builds the capacity of health systems to ensure long-term sustainable progress in the quality and availability of care.
HVO has been committed to accountability and ethical practices throughout our 30+ year history, recognized by our inclusion in the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance and Platinum Status on GuideStar.
