Working as a German Doctor

Yes. However, if you show an interest in several different projects or in our whole programme, this increases the chances of us being able to offer dates to fit you.

German Doctors provides general medical care for people who cannot afford to see a doctor. We put a special focus on combatting tuberculosis, AIDS and malnutrition.

We only assume the treatment costs for patients who do not have the means to pay for a doctor or for the treatment they need. Diagnostics may only be ordered provided we can pay for the therapeutic measures required in consequence.

On request, German Doctors will insure your trip with the occupational insurance association. As a rule, this will cover all the risks a mission might involve, including travel and incidents en route. However, accidents and sickness on non-workdays and illnesses not related to your actual work are excluded (examples: a heart attack while at work is not covered; malaria or HIV contracted during work is covered; an accident during a weekend off is not covered).

No, because we encourage the doctors to form groups among themselves. Unless of course both work as doctors on a project. It often happens though that partners go out to the project location before or after the mission for a holiday together. Of course, you can take the opportunity to visit the project then as well.
