Los Angeles, CA USA (10/24/2007) - - Emirates Airline Foundation announced today that it will pledge free airfare to a number of HealthCare Volunteer physicians and dentists who travel to Tanzania over the next one year. Physicians and dentists must volunteer for 3 weeks - 1 year and provide Tanzanian children with health services at one of the HealthCare Volunteer partner hospitals in Tanzania. Volunteers can be licensed from any country but must leave from a Emirates Airline-served airport.

Eligible doctors include pediatricians, pediatric dentists, orthodontists/plastic and reconstructive surgeons/ENT specializing in congenital anomalies/defects, pediatric cardiologists, pediatric neurologists, pediatric respirologists and adolescent medicine specialists, medical geneticists, pediatric psychiatry, pediatric urology, pediatric general surgery, pediatric nephrologists, etc. To apply for free airfare, click here.

HealthCare Volunteer, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, was started in January 1, 2006 by an American dental and medical student, who realized the need for a free non-profit portal that connects all volunteers interested in health care to volunteering opportunities. Due to resource constraints, several national health care organizations rightfully chose not to undertake such a drastic project, and so the opportunity to unite health care volunteers globally remained. It was clear that an independent, 3rd party, non-partisan, non-governmental organization (NGO) unaffiliated with any country or entity needed to be formed to promote health care volunteering in a rapidly globalizing world.
