Mission:
Health Care Volunteers International is a multifaceted international humanitarian organization dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of underserved individuals around the globe.
A focus on capacity building and operational excellence is central to the ideology and vision of the organization. This is reflected not only in our direct patient care and educational projects but, perhaps more importantly, in developing a web-based platform of medical resources and tools meant to be shared with other volunteer healthcare and humanitarian organizations providing aid around the globe. We believe that the development and standardization of best practices that focus on the highest quality of care, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and optimal delivery will drive better outcomes and expand care to far more individuals in need worldwide. Numerous international humanitarian organizations work in unique and often challenging, but not surprisingly not very dissimilar settings. Increased cohesion among this historically very large but very disparate group will result in economies of scale and the sharing of information and processes that will accrue enormous benefits for the organizations and those they are dedicated to serving.
Organizational Overview:
In addition to direct patient care, capacity building, and educational projects in multiple developing countries, Health Care Volunteers International has created a web-based platform of resources to be used by and distributed to other organizations providing health care in the developing world. With a focus on operational excellence, proven business methodology, and an approach that incorporates lean six sigma principles to drive better outcomes, our goal is to establish a clearinghouse of best practices and processes, as well as other tools that will enable organizations to operate more efficiently, at lower cost, and with improved outcomes.
Health Care Volunteers International also operates a Blood Donor Program in Guinea Equatorial under the title of Blood Donors International. The program is currently being developed in Cambodia, and plans for expansion into other countries are underway.
