Volunteer as Medical Doctor at Samos refugee camp

On 17th of August I will travel to Samos to volunteer as a medical doctor for the refugee camp. I want to raise funds for my travel and accommodation, additionally I will use the money to purchase much needed medical equipment. Samos is one of the Aegean islands with a vicinity to Turkey of only 2km. Samos holds one refugee camp, situated in its capital city of Vathy. It was once built to hold 650 people but is now populated by over 8000 people. Asylum seekers here most commonly hail from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, DRC and Cameroon. One third of the population is under 18 with a good proportion being unaccompanied. Half of the population consist of adult men. The population rises quickly every year as there are continued new arrivals but only few are transferred to the mainland. With COVID19 regulations the situation in the medical clinic is changing weekly. I hope to contribute to the much needed medical support for the refugees in the camp. Currently only one official camp doctor is assigned from the Greek government, so most patients are seen in the volunteer clinic, which offers medical support free of charge, unfortunately with limited equipment and medication available. Thank you very much for your donation, you are helping me to stay in Samos for a longer period of time and provide supplies to the medical clinic.
